You can get a few (2+) nodes together using ad-hoc mode. Or just find a public
hotspot to test it out with.

Thanks for the feedback.

The Linksys WCF12 is the newer model in the WCF series.  It's not T-shaped 
anymore.  It doesn't get in the way of the stylus.  One review of the 
WCF12 commended it on its range.

There is no way to test it without setting up one's own access point, is 
there?

I have a D-Link DCF-660W that I use with my ipaq (running familiar 0.6.1), and
it works very well. It's supposed to be pretty low power, but it's hard to
gauge without having another card.

It uses the orinoco_cs driver, and with the backlight on I get about 2hours of
use out of the ipaq with the card plugged in (regular about 4hours).

The D-Link is also physicaly small, and not T-Shaped like some of the
Linksys (I think) ones i've seen.

[vox-tech] Zaurus wireless compactflash card

2003-05-29 Thread Foo Lim
Hi all,

Does anyone have any recommendations on wireless compactflash cards for
the Zaurus?  I bought a 802.11b card for $30 after rebate (Linksys WCF12)  
but I haven't tested it out yet, since I still need to setup a wireless
access point.  There's a special for a D-Link DCF-660W for $20 after
rebate this week.  Does anyone have any personal preference?

This site:
http://www.zaurus.com/dev/support/peripherals.htm
lists the WCF12 as supported.  I've searched for the D-Link card, and that 
is also supported, so it just comes down to personal experience (range, 
power consumption, etc.)

TIA,
FL
