[Gllug] Zaurus & working Wireless CF cards?

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I'm getting a load of issues with the D-Link DCF 660W & the Zaurus. I
think I'm going to return that and get a different model of WCF card.

Can anyone recommend one that works flawlessly (and is still available -
some of the cards recommended by Sharp no longer appear to be made).

Here are the D-Link problems: first day it worked fine. Second day,
it didn't work all day. It couldn't get a signal from the AP, green
light kept flashing. Tried many different things to no avail. Then
in the evening it just started working. Green light on, Internet
connectivity fine (modulo BT problems, of course). Third day (today)
it's working some of the time, and then it'll stop working. Same
issue - flashing green light indicating it can't talk to the AP.

The really strange thing is that Kismet works *fine* - even when the
card is having problems with the Sharp software, Kismet runs and
detects the home network ESSID with no problem.

(Having had multiple problems with D-Link PCMCIA wireless cards
before, this really is absolutely the last time I ever buy any
D-Link crap).

Rich.
