Hello,

I have a Netgeat Wireless B USB adapter. Does anyone know of any 3rd party drivers that would run this on my toshiba e335?

Thanks!!!

It means there is no PocketPC driver for wireless usb adapters.

In other words, there is currently no way to WiFi-enable a Toshiba e330-series device. :( It has an SDIO-capable slot, but lacks the SDIO Now! drivers to allow SDIO WiFi cards to work, and as mscdex pointed out, you can't use a USB WiFi adapter either.

Sorry :( The e330 was one of the last generation of Pocket PCs (along with the 1910) that is not WiFi-capable. Most, if not all newer units are WiFi-capable (sometimes built-in, sometimes with a CF or SDIO card). Some of them can be had for a good deal, so keep on looking about.

Dell had the X3i w/ built-in wifi for $166 a few days ago, might still have it for that. I believe it was a refurb (Dell Outlet), not sure tho.
