SD Card Ethernet Adapter

Does anyone know if someone makes an SD Ethernet card? I just downloaded a network utility and getting a wired connection would be awesome to do diagnostics for work!

Nope. If you want wired ethernet, it's still CF or nothing.

Or, considering he uses the venerable iPaq 5550, he could also go PC card

Sure, but how many of those come with WinCE/WinMobile drivers?

That's a bummer, but not totally unexpected. An SD Card Ethernet adapter would be a total niche product. I looked everywhere for one too.

Thanks for the info.

More than you might think

Assumming you are still using that 5550 in your sig though, I would still recommend a CF NIC, whether directly or with an adapter. They tend to be a little better in power consumption as they are expected to be in a PDA, where the PCMCIA ones are typically used in a laptop, with a slightly bigger battery.
