Default Socket Has 2003 Drivers Available For Download

http://www.socketcom.com/support/ppc2003.asp

Just a quick FYI - Socket Communications has released Pocket PC 2003 drivers for most of their products, including bluetooth and WiFi cards. These are for 2003 devices only. You should look at the normal product page for 2002 and earlier drivers.

When I installed these drivers, The card came to life but I never received any configuration pop-up or anything and no wireless tab in my Connection Mangler. So I was unable to configure the card to work.

Yes, but I have a Socket card.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you may run into problems down the road with so many drivers installed. Once your OEM comes out with their driver for 2003, you might have to hard reset to clean out all of that old stuff.

Thanks for the tip but I'm actually resetting between each driver install.

I'm creating a compatibility matrix for the hardware & software we use in house here.

if anyone is interested I cannot get the Spring CF2031 card working either. :cry:

I will test the Movian VPN client as soon as I can SOME KIND of wireless connection :evil:

I also have not been able to get the Socket software to work. Basically, the Link LED on the card just keeps flashing but it looks like the 2215 isn't recognizing the existence of the card.

Hey I got mine working, and unfortunately it required a Hard reset!

I think I screwed something up when I tried the original Drivers and the system never recovered even after an uninstall.

I hard reset and installed the 2003 drivers, and whala! it was all there Wireless tab and all.

If you tried the symbol/socket 2002 drivers, you may have done the same thing. Just a little FYI

How is that a kludge? They just released the 2003 drivers. You install the drivers, soft reset then insert the card. It works beautifully.
