RE: Wireless LAN

["Keith Doxey" <lists.diyha@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tony,

I already have the PCMCIA sleeve for the iPaq and as it belongs to work
not
me, I dont actually want to buy anything for it. The wireless LAN card is
OK
to buy as it has uses beyond iPaq but an iPaq sleeve can only ever be
an
iPaq sleeve or a paperweight.

Dunno!  Should be as they are apparently just rebadged Orinoco
cards.
Fuji I would say yes because it's just a PC, the iPaq is more tricky.
I wouldn't recommend a pcmcia card for it because of power consumption,
but
then you have to buy a CF sleeve and CF card, which are more expensive
and
IME, the range not so good.
If you do go with these cards and they work with the fuji but not the
ipaq
then I don't mind swapping one of my silver cards from the Dr John buy
for
one of your lucent cards - Can someone out there confirm that the Dr
John
cards work with an iPaq?  I have a CF one myself so dunno - though
they work
with the ePods okay so I'd be surprised if there's a problem.

Yes - provided your ISDN router acts as a DHCP server of course :-)

HTH,


Tony
