Home / Web Pads / Panasonic CF-01 Wireless Network card ?

Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) bobs Profile Can not seem to get the Compaq Wireless Network Card working. Has anybody have any other wireless network cards working with CF-01 ? 04-20-2001 21:12:20

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) gern_blanston Profile I'm using a Linksys WPC11 here and it works just dandy... but it does seem to suck the battery down quickly. 04-20-2001 21:21:11

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) jamesd1343 Profile Yeah, Im using the Dell (Cisco Aironet) and working fine in Ad Hoc mode w/another card but seeing thee same thing on the battery..sure hope that guy will build us a replacement pack. 04-20-2001 21:36:33

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) gern_blanston Profile bobs-- what's the problem exactly? Is the compaq card one of the new 802.11b cards? I believe they're all based on the Intersil Prism II chip (it's kind of amusing actually -- a number (all?) of these cards use nearly identical drivers and config. utils, any price difference among them is all about the name they slap on it one would assume). The Linksys is Intersil-based and it's working. If the compaq is an Intersil-based card, then you can probably eliminate hardware incompatibility (given that the thing works at all). Have you tested the card in another computer yet? Are you using an access point or are you doing AdHoc? 04-20-2001 21:45:45

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) tcbordp Profile They are not all the same as I just found out . I picked up a couple d-Link dwl-650 cards and while they are intersil prism based cards they require cardbus slots. Pretty much rules out half my machines, bummer. If course the d-Link cards are $30 cheaper than the Linksys cards. Actually I remember reading about a guy getting some of these cards to work in a casio e-125 via a cf-pcmcia adaptor. He did research and there are at least two chipsets that are being used, the intersil prism and something else. I can't remember who made the other chipset though. PeteB If it helps I do have my old ibm lan entry cards working on the cf-01. Work great at a blinding 300kbs or so, with a stiff tailwind, downhill ... 04-20-2001 22:42:06

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) pete Profile I am using a WaveLan Bronze. It works well but sucks battery fast. 04-20-2001 22:42:41

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) bobs Profile The problem is the driver dose not load and the Light is lite all the time. No errors but in system/devices shows a ? with no driver loaded I have tried to reload driver but still have the same problem. The card worked in the epod with no problems. I may be abe to get a SMC card to try but I think it may have the same problem 04-21-2001 10:21:14

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) pete Profile I do not have any problems with the driver. Once that you have updated with the newest Orinoco (sp?) firmware you cannot use the old WaveLan drivers. In fact if u have already used a Wavelan driver you will have to also clean the registry. 04-21-2001 13:42:00

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) bus_depot Profile If anyone's in the market for wireless networking gear for a CF01 or ePods, pmail me, tech@busdepot.com . 04-21-2001 13:54:01

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) ssproule Profile Best buy has a special on the linksys cards this week. $90 out the door and then a $10 mail in rebate. 04-22-2001 12:13:55

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) bobs Profile The SMC PCMCIA card worked with no problems. Not sure why the Compaq one did not work. Thanks for all the input. 04-23-2001 11:02:30

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) sharksfan Profile | Email I'm having trouble myself. I can get power to the Linksys wireless card but the device manager tells me that I have a device failure and to try changing the driver for the device. I've done that but no help. Any ideas here would be appreciated. Thanks! Vince 05-03-2001 23:26:53

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) wesbc Profile | Email Was there ever a resolution to some of these problems. I just received my Linksys card today, which I am currently using in my IBM laptop with Win2000. When I insert the card into the CF-01, it detects it and installs fine. Only the power light comes on. The Tx/Rx does not blink. When I go to system, it has a ? to with the wireless card and state that it's not installed properly. I had to add the TCP/IP protcol and on the Linksys card properties, it showed that it has binded with the added protcol. Now when I tried to run winipcfg, I get a fatal error. I read somewhere on the web stating that I should tried to recover the Winsock2. But I only see a winsock.dll. Am I missing some files? Someone help... Thanks 06-12-2001 18:05:03

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) bus_depot Profile When I tried to install the Linksys card on a CF-01 it took 3 attempts. First two times the drivers seemed to install but the card was not recognized. So I uninstalled and reinstalled, for lack of a better idea. Third time it worked like a charm. Didn't do anything different that I know of. 06-12-2001 21:03:52

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email Actually saw the Compaq 802.11b's and they're Lucent based cards, you might try the Orinoco drivers. 06-12-2001 21:10:59

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) wesbc Profile | Email It finally worked. It's somewhat painfull to do posting with. Thanks 06-13-2001 18:21:57

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) BusyJonny Profile | Email Has anyone been able to get the Hawking WE110P to work on the CF-01? Repeated attempts, on the original Win95, complete normally, but then device mgr sez no good, try again. 08-18-2001 13:25:00

RE:Wireless Network card ? (modified 0 times) stretch Profile | Email Hi all, I have some Symphany wireless pcmcia cards and some pci adapters for sale. See the swapmarket thread on this bbs for more info. 08-21-2001 10:32:26
