I purchase a new Sandisk sd WiFi card off e-bay, and it worked okay in my Compact the first time, the second time it failed (no lights).
After a lengthy support call to Sandisk in the US (via UK number), the diagnosis was that the card had died.
Fortunately Sandisk have a couple of UK companies that can handle warrantee claims and my card was dispatched in the post.
I have just had an e-mail from them saying that the card had indeed failed, and that they would be dispatching a new WiFi + 256Mb card instead of the WiFi only card because this card was now obsolete.
I quess i can live with that!!!
Thumbs up for Sandisk, i just hope that my Compact has not caused the failure of the card somehow with a faulty SDIO slot? Memory cards work fine so I hope that the card failure was a one off.

Hi,
Wait until you install the driver of Sandisk 256+wifi on compact.
The driver provided by Sandisk is not compatible with WM2003SE. It is only compatible with WM2003. There are a lot of complain say that this incompatible driver caused compact to work not as stable as before.
I contact Sandisk about this and they say that they never say their driver compatible with WM2003SE. Sad!!!
Best regards,
Arto.
Yes Sandisk did say to me that the driver is WM2003, not WM2003SE.
I guess i will have no option but to use the WM2003 driver, what other option is there?
Thanks,
Mike.

Okay, but you still need the Sandisk driver, and the Socket utility is a bonus add-on.
Looks a neat utility though Thanks.

I use a sandisk card, but use the socket driver. Works a treat. Couldn't get the sandisk driver to work!!
Is the socket driver working with combo memory and wifi?
If "yes", I will try socket driver. Headache with Sandisk driver
Thanks
Best regards,
Arto
Sorry this is only wifi not combo but I think the Socket drivers are better.
I did read that the combo may not work in certain devices not sure if this included the jam.
Regards
I have a Jam running ROM 1.06 WWE. My Sandisk 256 meg is working great with the LATEST dirvers from Sandisk.

It may not specify that it works with SE, but it works fine on my Jam. I have access to my home network and do file exchanges with no problem. The only problem I had was when I tried to connect to my network when my router SSID was turned off. So I turned it on and then set up my security settings on my Jam and then turned it off again and had no more problems.

i got a sandisk sdio wifi card two weeks ago, for my brand new tsm500 (same as xdaII) and at first was very disappointed as card was very slow. Supposing was due to some special configuration of my home wireless network, i tried all the tips i know about, with no results at all. Took a look on the net and found out that most of users of this card got the same problem. but found the solution, too, on a spanish forum: uninstall sandisk drivers and install the ones from www.socketcom.com, its sdio wifi card has the same chipset. new drivers makes card much faster, has got a more friendly desing and its configuration is very easy. just try it and post the results.

Sandisk 256MB + Wifi and MDA Compact
These drivers don't work with Sandisk 256MB + Wifi and MDA Compact. I don't know witch devices doesn't work but I think it's the Sandisk 256MB + Wifi.
Do the Sockets drivers work with the standard SD WI-FI (the one without the ram) and the MDA Compact IMATE Jam?
These drivers work fine for me, using a standard Sandisk Wifi card (without extra RAM) on a XDA2
Is that the low voltage sandisk card?

Yes, it will work. SanDisk only came out with 2 SDIO WiFi devices, the first one having no storage, and the second on with 256MB of storage. SO if your card is the one without storage, it will definitely work.
Hi all, as subject I want to buy an Sd wifi card for my MDAII, Someone tell me that Sandisk WIFI+256 Mb isn't compatible with the device, It's true?
Which wifi card can I buy?
I've Wm2003Se 2.20.07 chs.
Thank's a lot..
as far as i know any wifi sd card without onboard memory since they all use the same chip

So the problem is only the memory chip?
Sandisk Wifi card without it is compatible?
Thank's a lot.
Hi..
yeah well not really because i think that people can use the memory but not the wifi it require some special driver to use both things
and xda's dont have that driver and cant have it installed i think
yeah the non mem sandisk is fine and so i sockets or what ever the other company who use the same chip is called
SANDISK and SPECTEC .... compatibility

in my old times ;-PP I have been using sandisk SDIO WLAN card with XDA II and it was working for me, my friends have also reported succesfull operation withy sandisk card ....
I have not tried combo from sandisk (wlan + memory) at that time it was too expensive
you can also try SPECTEC WLAN (card has been reported to work on MDA mini etc.) card that is recently out to the market, it is much shorter and cheaper as compared to Sandisk .... for photos and simple comparison here it the link, although it is in my mother tongue .... just look for the pictures ;-)

i am running the spectec sdw-820 since almost two weeks and it runs flawlessly even under buzzmobile 2005 with the current driver release 1.24.2 the only contra is that only very few network tools/scanner run under buzzmobile 2005.
handling and using is very easy. i am excited about that small sized wifi-card.

Anybody know? I have tried so many now and am fed up!
All work ok'ish but all have problems. Need it to do WPA.
The one I have been using is the Sandisk 256MB +WiFi driver as this is more updated (does WPA) than the Sandisk Wi-Fi only driver, however it causes problems with my SD Mem card due to the mem driver part of it.
PLEASE could you guys post your results so far.
Want to create a definitive guide!
The Socket Communications driver for SmartPhones seems to work the best.
You can download it from here: http://www.socketcom.com/support/redirect.asp?URL=ftp://ftp.socketcom.com/wlan/SDIO_WLAN_Sagem.exe
Works perfectly!!!! Whoohooooo
Thankyou. Finally can use my Wi-Fi card in WM2005
Hi!
Does anyone know if there is a wlan-card with some storagememory included that is compatible with the magician?
Been looking around but still no luck.
Look for Sandisk Wifi-SD-cards. I have one with 256mb storage. It works perfectly!

No, it is not works perfectly..... Works sometimes, and not always!
It is BAD, since the software/driver for Sandisk Wifi-SD card with 256mb storage is not support WM2003SE. It is only support WM2003 (without SE). Most of O2 XDA II mini is WM2003SE (IMO, there is old magician unit running on WM2003 (without SE)).
VERY BAD because Sandisk never and have never update the software/driver to support WM2003SE!!! I learn this when I asked their customer support about software/driver for WM2003SE, and they simply say "check this compatibility chart, WM2003SE is not supported!".
Shame on you Sandisk!!!
Regards,
Arto.
I had but after 4 months it gave out on me,
Sandisk told me it had to do with the memory on it,
I now have a new one without the memory and no problems till now.
But I am "glad" that more people having problems with it.(just so I know I aint the only one)
My advice buy a 1gig card and a normal WiFi.

Unfortunately, the Sandisk offering is the ONLY ONE IN EXISTANCE.
It's also EOL'd - you can't buy it anywhere anymore other than Ebay.
Nobody seems to care about SDIO these days, huh. -.-

Well I looked further into the issue, and apparently SanDisk discontinued it because it suffered from too many various errors . Guess it was having teething problems, being the first of its kind. Lets hope someone fills this void, because I want one!
Sandisk wifi is extremly slow.............realllllly slooooooow.
So forget it. You can connect usb flash drive via usb and use sd for wifi if really need. Or flash your jam with BigStorage and use internal 27 mb.
Or even 2.5'' harddisk.
Thanx

It's not. Magician unfortunately lacks USB host capabilities - in short, it lacks the drivers required to control an external device, such as a hard drive or keyboard...
Which sucks. Bluetooth GPS and Infrared Keyboards really do suck up battery life.
At Ebay there are a lot of SD Wifi Cards available. Is any of them good ? I want to use it with my Qtek S100.
i have a spectek sd wifi card which works well in my qtek s110.
I've had the SanDisk 256Mb WiFi card for way over a year now and have not had any problems. The only problems I had were the installation but after searching for updated drivers which were like Gold dust as this card is no longer manufactured I located some and it's been great since. I've set the WiFi connection on the Magician to have the "best battery life" and the speed doesn't seem to be a factor.
Maybe I've been lucky!
