Don't be scared off by the incompatibility report that Socket has on their website.
The Socket Low Power Wireless LAN Card is currently incompatible with the wireless router
(combination Router/Access Point) from D-Link (Model DI-713P) in that both the Socket Low
Power WLAN Card and the D-Link wireless router lock up after approximately five minutes of
normal association.
This combo works great for me. I initially was using the Socket driver on my Maestro and I did lose my connection occasionally. But, I switched to using the Symbol Pocket PC 2002 driver (http://www.symbol.com/services/downloads/documentation_drivers.html)and I have had rock solid performance since then. 8) It may be my imagination but it seems like my Maestro ceased periodically locking up on me when I switched to the Symbol driver. It requires a registry change to get it to work with the Socket card. Make the registry change after you install the Symbol driver and before you insert the Socket card.
At:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\
Replace:
Symbol-Spectrum24_LA4100_Series_WLAN_PC_Card-e063
With:
Socket-CF+_LP_WLAN_Card_Rev_A-09DF
