Hi folks,
Since there were talks about the new WiFi card from Ambicom, and
the fact that KeySoft 7.5.29 supports it, I thought I'd give you
frequent updates to my adventures with this card.
I'm the only student at the school district who received the new
Ambicom WL54G WiFi CF card. I was asked by the technology
coordinator to test this on my unit.
As of part one, here are my findings:
* Physically, this card is almost same as previous Ambicom card,
except that it is somewhat thicker. The connectivity light is
located further inward towards the BrailleNote.
* Before using this card, one must insert this card and perform a
Warm Reset. I found that, when the card is inserted, the unit
freezes - even no speech at all. When removing the card, KeySoft
says, "network card removed" as usual.
* Even though 802.11G is supported, there is no single prompt for
WPA (WiFi Protected Access). The only encryption supported as of
now is WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
The card should be up on Amazon website.
Hope to update the series as it goes. My plan is to test the
card to its full capabilities - connecting to both b and g
networks and see the speed of the card.
Cheers,
Joseph
