I checked here first to make sure they\'re compatible!!

Get them while you can, I already ordered mine!

You have to enter the following code to get $10 instant rebate: GEEK2642

Heres the link to the card:

Just ordered, and the rebate code is still effective. Thanks! (Fingers crossed that the dang thing will work....)

What Zaurus are you going to use it with?

Great tip! Just picked one up for my C860 which is on the way.
Read a review on this SMC and it sounds like a good one, too.

860. Pda Buyer\'s Guide likes the card (in an old review - but doesn\'t mention Zaurus compatibility). I was wondering whether it\'s discontinued at this price, but other merchants sell if for $80+, and it\'s still listed as current stuff on SMC\'s site.

Anyone had weirdness getting this to work in an 860 (which I don\'t have in hand yet)?

Just got mine today - plugged it into the 860, and within 5 minutes (network and email setup) I was downloading emails and surfing this forum! thanks again for the tip

Hi
I use this card with my SL-5600, it is excellent, it has one of the highest reception/transmission power for the Sharp. It works and its better than my full sized Microsoft MN-520 PCMCIA card in my laptop.

just ordered it...what ROM\'s are you guys using with this Card?

I\'ve got an sl-5600, and am running the Sharp 1.32 ROM, with a custom dloaded kernel.

I have a Linksys WCF12, which I was only able to get to work under the latest Openzaurus (tried tkc, zynergy, sharp). I think that it is a prism3 rather than 2 (recently changed by Linksys). On OZ I could connect, but I could never get WEP to work correctly, and DHCP never seemed to work either.

I\'m hoping this card will \'just work\' so I can move on and quit spending time on wifi
