This is interesting:

Evidently it\'s coming out this month?  I tried looking for this wifi card via Google, and I got a lot of non-English pages.  Anyone know about this?


Well this is the first \"proof\" I have seen that the clamshells are wired for SDIO.  So it *must* be possible

But I would go along with DrWowe, blue tooth would be more usefull for me too.

The only problem is that it would stick out wouldn\'t it?

If this is true, then what i the hold up...the issue of no spec becuase of the SDIO royalty issue?

Just curious.

Has anybody actually tried sticking a SDIO device in to see what happens? Hmm, I guess you would require the relevant drivers first- DANG!

There is apparently a new Fujitsu SDIO card for Linux coming soon that I posted here:

FYI I have tried a SanDisk SDIO WiFI card in my c860 and it did not work at all.  I would like to try the C-Guys device since it allegedly works on the Z.

Did it produce anything in dmesg?

I doubt it would work as there are no drivers, but if it could be detected, etc.......

Nothing was produced in dmesg.   It was a co-worlers card and he returned after a few days because he was having problems with his Ipaq detecting the card.  So, I'm not convinced that the Z cannot recognize SDIO cards.  I think I'll run by Fry's and try out a card and then return it.

The 5th post, that guy claim he did a driver for the SDIO sandisk wlan card. Still no proof but thats very intriguing

hum it is kind of ridiculuous that a user community has to debate for months about weather a device can support a specific technology.

dont get me wrong i love my z just a thought that crossed my mind.

And the debate continues ......

Yes it is ridiculous.  I wrote the mobilelinktech people an email inquiring about their having the Zaurus on their support document.  Hopefully I'll get a reply.

I emailed Mobile Link around June 17 and received the following reply, which promised to notify me "if" the driver is ready, not "when," though the distinction may not have been intended. I'll post if I learn that the Zaurus driver is released--immediately *after* I order the card. . . .
