Default H2215 and Dell TrueMobile CF WiFi?

Does anyone know if the Dell TrueMobile CF WiFi card is compatible with Windows Mobile 2003? If so, how is the battery consumption and range?

I am using the dell card in my 2215, and it works fine with the 2003 driver from dell's site.

range is lacking. I can go anywherew in my 1000 sq foot ranch (or in the basement) and get varing degrees of reception, but if I go outside and get more than 10 or 15 feet I lose reception. (using a linksys router/access point centrally located in the house). I estimate that I am looking at about 40 foot effective range.

power seems good. I haven't done any tracking of usage, but I surf the web every night for at least 2 or 3 hours. What I remember of battery readings is in the 50% range.

Hope this helps.
