Which Wireless PC cards work with 568 and MS Home Network?

[dugn]

I POSTED THIS IN THE "RETRO" JORNADA FORUM, BUT GOT NO REPLIES. CAN ANYONE HERE HELP?

I just got the PC Card adapter for the HP Jornada 568 and want to know which PCMCIA wireless cards will work with this adapter and my Microsoft Home Networking setup. I searched the web, but missed finding sites that could give me this information.

Can the gurus here help?

Thanks in advance!

As far as PC Card form factor cards, versus CF form factor, the ORiNOCO Gold/Silver cards get very good reviews. I use a Silver card with my iPAQ 3835 on occasion.

I'm using the Symbol Wireless Networker CF card, and it's great. That said I would probably encourgae you towards the Socket version of the card because Socket has much better customer support, and I think the drivers are better too.

Neither are all the cheap (last I looked), but they are definitely worth it. Plus if you get a CF ->PCMCIA adapter you can use the CF card in a noteboook or other device with the PCMCIA slot.

Since I've GOT to have my 128MB CF card, I have only two options as I understand them:

1 - Get a CF card 'splitter' so I can run 2 CF cards in the Jornada 548 - one for my CF card memory, the other for a wireless card (which means fast battery drain). PRO: CF-based wireless cards will surely come with drivers for the Jornada.

OR

2 - Get the PC Card adapter (which comes with an extended battery as part of the package), convert to SD card storage (which I can do), then I need to use a PCMCIA-based wireless card instead of a CF-based card. CONS: Assuring Pocket PC 2002 drivers are available for the Jornada *and* that it will work with my very standard Microsoft Home Wirelss networking configuration (which shouldn't be hard, right?).

Thanks for your answers!

I use the Compaq iPaq HNW-100 wifi PC Card with both my Jornada 568 and iPaq 3955. For some reason, it is WAY easier to set up with the Jornada than with the iPaq 3955. I am on Comcast Cable hi-speed however.
