wireless on old hardware - ipaw 3850 / belkin f5d6020

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Is this a version 3 card? If so, the Belkin site states this uses the CardBus architecture. That
makes the card incompatible with any PocketPC...

What version of windows is on the 3850? Hp basically stop supporting their
old cards with the Windows Mobile 2003 version, so the drivers will not
work.

On a 3835 with the linksys ver 2 wireless card via pcmica sleeve I had it
would connect, then drop repeatedly. The fix was actually a firmware update
for the router, which at the time was a wireless b version. The version 1
card had no problems, so I assumed it was a packet optimization that didn't
work well with the router without the update. There could be a similiar
issue with your belkin card.

So, if you have not checked it out already verify the router firmware
version.

IIRC I used the wl100 driver.

Good Luck
