Should this WiFi card work in my iPAQ ???

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

I have recently obtained a used Intel WCF2011BMWW WiFi LAN card in CF
format for my iPAQ 3835. The iPAQ is Windows Mobile 2003.

The Intel driver I downloaded was specific to this card but I am
attempting to use it in my iPAQ when it was originally supplied as an
option to the Toshiba E570.

This is where I found the driver
http://support.intel.com/support/w [...] 005905.htm

Intel describes it as an "OEM Product, information provided as a
courtesy"

A user guide is also available:
This User's Guide provides software installation and configuration
information for the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN CF Card when used
with a Toshiba* E570.

It seems reasonable to think the driver and card would both work in an
iPAQ but maybe I am missing something and the driver would only work
with Toshiba hardware.

So far I have not been able to get it to work with my home network. Can
anyone confirm it should work with my iPAQ? The Intel driver installed
ok as far as I can tell but when I get to
Settings>Connections>Advanced>Network Card it does not move to the next
screen. Should I keep working or is this likely hopeless?

Open to any suggestions...

Thanks,
Dave

Or he might find a firmware upgrade to turn his PPC 2002 into a 2003
