After upgrading to Pocket Pc 2003 my adapter for built in wireless was
replaced with USB version. Does anyone know where and how to get the
original driver back on.

Hi,
The driver is in rom. If you deleted it by mistake you can always perform a
hard reset to get it back but you will lose all your data.

If I understand your question correctly, the "USB version" is the correct
driver.

WM2003 and WM2002 have different user interfaces for the wireless functions.
Some people like the new arrangement, some do not. In any event, it will
take some getting used to but there is more functionality.

I believe the wireless driver is also available as a separate d-load from
the HP site

Apologies if the link wraps.

Thanks for the feedback. I performed a hard reset and the next install went
fine. I'm not sure if I like the new version at this point I am still trying
to find out where to enter the SSID. Thanks for your help, Ken

Turn the WLAN on, the Green LED should blink green or orange in the upper
left hand corner.
Tap Start (menu) | Settings | Connections (tab) | Connections (icon) |
Advanced (tab) | Network Card (box) | Tap "Add New Settings..." The Network
name: is the SSID. Tap Authentication (tab) | to enter the WEP key. You must
enter the WEP as a HEX digit and not as an alphanumerical value. Or you can
not enter the Password, you must enter the hex value of the password.
