After reading many posts, I must ask, can you recommend on a WIFI card for the I Mate?
I understood that SanDisk WIFI card makes many problems.

i've not read that
what i have read is nobody ever getting the sandisk wifi sdram combo card working
The SanDisc WiFi card drivers are a problem for many people, but installing the drivers for the Socket WiFi card (same electronics inside) usually sorts things out.
Anyone managed to get the XDA II working with the scandisk wi-fi card? I know there's an issue with the scandisk combined 256mb combined wi-fi cards...
the original sandisk sd wifi card works fine with my Xda II, the newer version which has on board memory apparently has real problems.
the Combination Card + wifi IS NOT Recommened by O2 it apparently should NOT work this is just an XDA problem
What SD Wi-Fi card works with the 02 xda, i've read quite a bit about the SD card being a tad flakey
I've been using my SanDisk SDIO Wi-Fi card for a year, and I have encountered some glitches, but nothing really serious.
The best drivers for this are the Socket Communications drivers version 1.42E ( http://www.socketcom.com/support/support_wlan.asp?Type=SDIO ). It works way better than the SanDisk drivers which have not been updated for a long time already.
With regards to the SanDisk Combo SDIO 256+WiFi card, the problem is the ability of Windows Mobile to address the funtion of both the wifi and the memory module at the same time. This should have been resolved in the SE version of Windows Mobile 2003, but I have not seen an update from the vendor specifically designed for WM2003SE.
Another SDIO Wi-Fi option is the AmbiCom card ( http://www.ambicom.com/products/wave2net/wl11-sd.html ), I have tried it and it works, but I was not able to test it extensively.
I got a Socket Wifi card. I had constant problems connecting to the network though the latest drivers seemed to resolve the problem. But now the card seems to have stopped working after 5 months. I would still would recommend a Socket card since there's not much choice, the only other one is from Pretec. The cards aren't physically the most robust so you have to handle them with care. Storing it in a wallet probably didn't help in my case.
Sometimes soft-reset needed on my XDAII
The only problem I have is that sometimes, when I am some 20 m from my wi-fi ADSL modem, I have to soft-reset my XDAII (newest ROM) to have the Sandiosk (without memory) recognised.

Hi i am using xda11 wm2005. since it dont have a built in wifi. now i swap with my wifi and sd card everyday and i can feel that it loose a bit not as tight as before. does any technical person here know that if in long term this will spoil the sdio slot? if it is spoil, can it be fixed? If cannot, then i should not use my wifi card. Thanks for info.
Hello
As I appear to have lost the wifi functionality on my Exec I am considering using one of the SD card Wifi adapters.
Does anyone have any experience of using these - either with an Exec or another device? I know it will be a nuisance swapping the SD card all the time, but it will at least give me my wifi back!
Any particular brands I should go for or avoid? Any information, help or guidance gratefully received.
Thanks
Ian
Have you tried backing up your data and hard rebooting? Also if you're inclined to take you device apart, you could check for a loose connection for the wifi antenna. The service manual is on the ftp site, link is on the wiki site I believe.
sandisk 256mb + wifi, storage and wifi, works a treat
I bought a Safecom SDW11B card which worked for a few weeks then woudlnt work at all. Ive read loads of people having bother wi theirs.
Also read that the Sandisk SD Wifi+256 also doesnt work?
Anyone have a card that does work with the XDA II? also does it have WM5 drivers

so i've searched the forums and while there are plenty of posts addressing the problem of disappearing/corrupted files on sdhc microsd cards, i've not seen a definitive solution.
I just received my sandisk 6gb card 2 days ago and noticed the problem almost immediately. Files go missing, eject and re insert card and they reappear. It's very frustrating.
anyone have a solution????
I know a 4GB card is supported by the wing but i'm not sure if 6GB is, its quite a bit of data to be handled
Have you tried to reformat it ? that might fix it
i've reformatted...as i understand it, the wing can support up to 32gb sdhc cards.
