Since the Hitachi HPW-600 has built-in drivers for the Proxim network
card I assumed it would work with the Proxim Orinoco Classic PC card
but it will not.

Has anyone used this handheld to access Wi-FI hotspots and, if so,
what card did you use?

My HPW 600 is temporarily unavailable (I broke the pin on the power
supply). So I can't verify for now what I say below.

I'm quite sure the Proxim drivers are for the RangeLan cards and
access points. These used a pre-802.11 (proprietary) standard. I
inherited an access point and 3 PC Cards. I know the cards work well
in my Casio PA2400. I know they work well in my iPAQ 3600 with PC Card
sled (although I had to install the drivers.

I have a PC Card and a CF Card for 802.11. When my HW-600 is useable
again, I'll try to remember to test. I'll be more likely to remember
if you send email directly to me.

(I've found only two sources for power supplies that work with the
HPW-600. Hitachi charged > $90. I just ordered one for half that from
MobileMania. Do you know any alternatives?)
