3com 3C589ET card issues: regenerating DLLs from ROM & Windows CE Services Disk
3com 3C589ET card issues: regenerating DLLs from ROM & Windows CE Services Disk

New Message3com 3C589ET card issues: regenerating DLLs from ROM & Windows CE Services Disk (modified 0 times) leperjuice
Well, I've got my ePods hacked to the 1.02 shell and I'm quite pleased with it so far. However, I need to get it onto the network (I'm syncing over IR right now) and I had hoped to use a 3Com 3C589ET card. It's a 10bT card with MIPS WinCE drivers, so it should work. However, I ran into 2 problems:

1) When I tried to use the 3Com install program it requested that I insert my Windows CE Services CD. Now, I know that ActiveSync is the replacement to Windows CE Services, but I cannot find a DL or an image of the old disk. Is there any way to bypass this requirement?

2) I tried to just hand copy over the DLLs (the instructions say to rename the 3C589M.dll (MIPS) to 3C589.dll and just use that one when prompted for a driver for the PC Card in slot 1. I did this, it still didn't work, and when I checked the registry entry for the 3c589 card it lists ndis.dll as the DLL. For some reason, ndis.dll is gone from /windows (along with a few other network dlls). I know they're stored in ROM, but they're not respawning (I had to delete atadisk.dll to get my Smartmedia adapter to work and a new one just showed up). What am I missing?

And any all help would be appreciated. Thanks!

As was previously discussed (do a search) the 3Com 3C589 is only compatible with Win CE 2.11 or earlier. There are no drivers to make it work with 2.12. The light comes on but no one has ever gotten it to work. The DLLs I assume are also for 2.11 or earlier.
