Home / Web Pads / Epods One General Post Problems with SMC2635W WiFi Card Unable to Install SMC2635W WiFi Card

Problems with SMC2635W WiFi Card (modified 0 times) guterm Profile Hello, I am having problems with SMC2635W 802.11b card. I installed the PRISM drivers, plugged in the card, and NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING happens. Even the power light on the card does not go on. I tested the card on my laptop and it works fine without any problems. Did anybody see this problem before? I am running 1.0 hack; 64M flash card is installed. The epods was new in the box so it's hard to assume a hardware problem. Regards, guterm 06-13-2004 09:20:50

RE:Problems with SMC2635W WiFi Card (modified 0 times) marko Profile I think that card uses the ADM8211 chipset not a Prism chipset. I haven't seen CE Mips drivers for the ADM8211 chipset. 06-14-2004 13:37:00

RE:Problems with SMC2635W WiFi Card (modified 0 times) guterm Profile Thank you very much for the information, looks like I bought a wrong card. The SMC2632W will work though, am I correct? 06-15-2004 11:10:35

RE:Problems with SMC2635W WiFi Card (modified 0 times) marko Profile marlykat posted this on the Yahoo Group "It turns out there are 2 or more versions of SMC2632W out there. Only Version 1 works because it uses the Prism2 chipset. I had gotten Version 2 which uses the Atmel chipset. No go." As long as it uses the prism chipset you'll be ok. 06-15-2004 13:54:16

RE:Problems with SMC2635W WiFi Card (modified 0 times) guterm Profile Is there such a thing as a "recommended" card for epods? I would have to buy a new card anyway, so I might as well get one that would cause me the least amount of trouble. 128 bit encryption is a must for me. thanks again, guterm 06-15-2004 17:18:29

RE:Problems with SMC2635W WiFi Card (modified 0 times) dslocum Profile guterm, I've got 5 Epods right now and three 2632W cards. These work fine. I ordered another 2632W from a guy on Ebay and got a version 2 which did not work. So it looks like Marco is right. Thanks Marco. Ebay should have these at about $15 US. Good luck.

RE:Problems with SMC2635W WiFi Card (modified 0 times) guterm Profile 5 epods!!!! Man, you are addicted! What are you using them for, if it's not a secret? Do you have encryption enabled on the SMC2632W? Does 128 bit mode work? I am planning to use my epods as a misterhouse (http://misterhouse.net) control panel. - guterm 06-18-2004 07:52:19
