1. D-LINK DCF-660W and IPAQ 3955
Is anyone else having problems with this card? I have tried both the drivers that came with the card and the updated drivers, but when I insert the card 1) nothing happens and the utility says that the card is turned off. 2) a message comes up as unrecognized card in socket1 or 3) occationally the card is recognized and works. But this only happens once out of twenty times and when I try to set up WEP on my router and cf card I loss the connection. Is this card a piece of crap or just has a problem with IPaq's. I see in the newsgroup that people have problems with linksys cards that use the prism chipset and I believe that this card uses a similar chip since the device driver is called prismnds.dll. Should I just throw this card away and if so what is a good cf card to get? Any help? TIA

I have a D-Link DCF-660W 802.11b wireless adaptor for Ipaq 2215. I had it working at one time, but I upgraded the Ipaq to version 1.08. Since then, I have had times when it works fine and other times when it hasn't worked at all. I even downgraded the Ipaq version back to 1.00, with no help. Anybody else have problems with the D-Link? PS I even bought a Linksys 802.11b wireless for the Ipaq thinking that the wireless D-Link had a problem, but I get the same results, so I sent the Linksys back, so it appeares to be the Ipaq software.

I'm debating whether to purchase a Linksys WCF12 or a DLink DCF-660W. The linksys advertises a nice feature, which is the ability to "turn off" the card when you don't need the wireless connection. I like this feature, since it would save me from having to constantly remove the card (to save battery power). Can anyone with this card tell me if there is such a feature? Or maybe a generic feature in PPC2002 to do this? Thanks, Rob
