Has anyone else had incessant hardware problems with the D-Link DCF660W card? I bought one for my Axim in March and have had to return it 3 times because each one would spontaneously stop working. With the current one, a slight nudge is all it takes to drop it off the network, and reinserting it gives an "Unrecognized Card" dialog box unless I *twist* the card as I'm inserting it. I've got CF memory cards that the Axim can access with no problems, so I'm reasonably sure the blame lies with the card.
I really wish I had the $120 to shell out for a Socket card, but unfortunately $6 and a week or so without wireless to RMA the D-Link is a far more realistic option right now. :evil:
I have one and really havent had any huge problems with it...every once and a while it will not pick up the network, but i just need to soft reset my axim.
I used that card with my former Jornada 568. It worked perfectly.
The kind of troubles you describe, I experienced with a Socket CF BT card instead - what worked for me was to breathe once or twice with the card between my lips (it must have been the moisture helping up some poor connections).
I will not comment on the chain of events that brought me to this somewhat peculiar handling of sensitive electronics...
Mine died on me after 3 weeks of use. Similar thing - stopped working properly and started giving an "unrecognized card" error. Currently sent for RMA, we'll see how it goes when it comes back....
D-Link DCF660W -- worthless!
