recommended wlan cf card for a Sharp Zaurus SL-5500?
« on: April 14, 2004, 06:12:52 am »
hi, i just bought a Zaurus SL-5500 and i was looking to find a wlan cf card for use with kismet.
i looked at a list of cards compatible with kismet, but i was hoping maybe someone could recomend some or a very good one that works well with the Zaurus SL-5500.

i\'m pretty sure i need a card with a prism chipset, but as i was looking in the forums i noticed how informed most if not all the questions the users provided.  
hopefully within the next few days i\'ll register, i really find a sense of community here.

rahn,

There are plenty of wlan compactflash cards you could use. I advise you to search the various pages here and note
what other people are using. Personally, I\'m using a Linksys WCF12, and find it has a good range (200m max from my home), works fine with Kismet, and isn\'t too power-hungry. It is also cheap, bought mine from www.ebuyer.co.uk 10 months ago. It worked with my Sharp SL5500 (ROM flashed to Sharp 3.10 US ROM) straight out of the box.

Hi!

I have been looking for a WiFi  Compact Flash Card for my SL-5500 for a while. I read in other posts that the Symbol CF worked well on the Zaurus and has a low poower consumption which I think is very valuable.

I have just found a vendor on ebay that sells them for $30 and ships for free in the US!

I have already ordered mine! And now I am looking forward to use my Zaurus wirelessly in the corridors of my campus!
