Charmer - Wi-Fi card problem with SDIO - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

I got a wi-fi card that works on WM5 and cant get it to work in an MDA Compact II.
I have tried it in an xda2 with wm5 and from what I can accertain is if you cold re-boot the wi-fi works, then as soon as you loose wi-fi you have to soft-boot again .... which isn't that unexpected from what I've read about wm5 and wi-fi and I can kind of live with that
However, I can't get it to work on the Charmer - what I think is happening is the SDIO is sooooo slooooow at initialising that the wi-fi drivers run before the SDIO is initialised.
Now I'm totally lost --- is there a way around this ... can I delay the driver running? can I start and stop drivers in wm5 ????

There appears to be no SDIO drivers on the MDA Compact II
I asked T-Mobile and they said there is a new build on the way soon - just awaiting licensing approval
They didn't specifically say it has SDIO driver - but that was the question posed to get the upgrade answer
It will apeear here when it's ready

Sandisk WiFi - AP Browser tab not showing

I just got my Sandisk wifi card, installed the newest driver from their site and away it went. The problem is that the AP browser tab doesn't show. If you tap on the wifi icon at the bottom of the screen that option is greyed out. Any ideas on how to get it to be "available"?
BTW I had some difficulty getting WEP to work with me SMC Barricade 2804WBR and eventually manually entered the key on my i-mate and the Barricade. Works perfectly now!
Kind regards

SDwifi sandisk with XDA II
I think that the best tool and driver for XDA II now from Socket Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:SCKT), the Mobile Connection(TM) Company 16th.Sep.2004
"This is an updated driver and utility for Windows Mobile 2003 that includes Socket WLAN Tools Mobile Edition, a new user-friendly utility. Also supports WPA on WM 2003 Second Edition as well as on some ROM updates to the original WM 2003. Installs using the standard ActiveSync connection. Please view the release notes within the .exe file."
For my MDA II new Socket driver much better than sandisk' driver 10th.Oct.2004

are you using the Sandisk card with the Socket driver?
Kind regards
Alan
Well I installed the Socket driver and it worked perfectly paricularly when turning my XDA on and off. It reconnects beautifully not like the Sandisk driver which often required a soft reset!!
Thanks for the advice.
Kind regards

Hi Alan
So did you uninstall your SanDisk driver first, before loading up the Socket driver, or did you leave them both running? I'm trying to get my SanDisk WiFi + 256M to work (at least the WiFi part, if not the memory) but am getting nowhere...
Thanks for any thoughts you might have...

HI!
I've been using my Wi-Fi card for a few months, but results are so poor, I'm about to quit: XDA-II Hangs, access points not showing, "no card present", etc.
I've got to a point where I'm thinking my card is not working properly, but there is no pattern in this behaviour, only increasing difficulties for Connecting, so I'm a bit unsure about asking the Technical service.
Any way to check the card? Or any help about it?
I did uninstall and do a soft reset. When I installed the Socket driver it worked straight off.
Good Luck
Alan

SandDisk SD wifi card and WM2003se

I got a SandDisk SD wifi with no memory that I use with my I-mate, or let me say I used to use , I've upgraded yesterday to wm2003se and installed the latest driver availble on sandisk website (Oct 03) and till now I couldn't connect to the access point...
Any help is apreciated.
Regards,
anyone please ??
RE
Hi!
Is I-Mate the equivalent of O2 XDA II? If yes, then I might have the answer
I was also having problem with my SANDISK SDIO WiFI card and my O2 XDA II with WM2003SE all these while since the upgrade until JUST NOW.
By a stroke of luck I manage to coneect it to my home DLINK router.
Go to START -> SETTINGS -> CONNECTIONS ->NETWORK CARDS -> NETWORK ADAPTERS -> Change the 'My network card connects to :' WORK (not internet)
Use cable to activesync your PPC to your Desktop PC making sure that the connection is there. Insert your WiFi card and see whether it connects. If not, de-active activesync, take out your PPC and soft reset with the WiFi card in place. Put it back into your cradle and allow activesync to proceed and see whether your card connects.
See whether this procedure works
thanks for your reply,
I tried what you have suggested with no luck :?
My network card tries to associate with no success
thanks anyway
RE
ArcticCat,
Sorry to mention. I was also playing around with this freeware, Hitchhiker, then and was connected. After which I deleted Hitchhiker.
Here,
http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/
Try connecting via Hitchhiker and see whther it connects. Make sure you follow my previous procedure too.
thanks again for you reply but no success either
let me ask some question
1) You have a SandDisk SD I/O Wifi with no memory ??
2) what drivers are u using for it?
3) you have wm2003se installed
4) what was the problem before?
I am seeing the AP but cannot associate to it.... same thing with you?
Regards

Answers
1) I'm using SANDISK SDIO WiFi card without memory
2) I'm using SOCKET WLAN Tools Mobile Edition v2.01. Get it from Socket Communications
3) Yes, I've WM2003SE installed on my O2 XDA II
4) Same problem like yours, previously for a long time till last night. Can associate but cannot connect.
I'm using ActiveSync v3.8
I suggest you just play around with Hitchhiker and my procedure for a while. Reset and disconnect/connect activesync if you require. FI, Hitchhiker cannot connect too in my case.
Good luck
Now we have the same configuration with the only difference that I am still not able to connect :?
I didn't quite understood what do u want me to do with ActiveSync
thanks once more
RE
ArcticCat,
Did you get your SDIO WiFi driver here:-
http://www.socketcom.com/support/support_wlan.asp?Type=SDIO
The one for WM2003
Yes I did... NO luck today neither
RE
If you're able to get a copy of the new Socket WiFi Companion which is not released on its website yet you can give a try.
were u able to get it?? if yes can you tell me where from ?
thanks
RE
Can you pm your email address to me and I'll email to you.
However, use at your own risk as I've NOT try it yet

Qtek 9100 and LEAP

Hi, The specs say teh machine can do it, but I've found no way on earth to configure WIFI to use LEAP... my old PDA2K had an App to do it... does anyone know how to do this on the Qtek or K-Jam (is there an app provided on the K-Jam)...
Any help appreciated...
Thanks..Dave
Qtek 9100
Cingular
I have the K-Jam and also need LEAP to log into our company wireless network. I also found no signs of LEAP capability on my K-JAM. I tried various 3rd party clients (Odyssey, and Aegis, etc) with no luck. None of them are updated for WM5 yet. They would install, but did not appear to interface with the SDIO wireless adapter drivers. Odysses said they would have a WM5 client out early next year though.
I suppose we just have to wait for Odyssey and/or I-mate to put out a WM5 LEAP version.
One interesting thing is that I understand the Jas Jar has LEAP capability on a WM5 platform. Probably different SDIO hardware (don't know). I wonder if there are any drivers/clients in the JJ cabs that would work on the K-Jam?
I'm having the same issue.... has anyone managed to get their wizard hooked into a LEAP access point?

Hi ,
I got HTC P3400 ( Gene ) upgraded to WM6 .. and I got the spected wifi card and work great in normal cases ..
I got this wifi card just to use SIP ( voip ) apps with my gene and it work little fine with fring ( hope to find something better )
BUT when my device lock ( turn screen to blank ) it CLOSE the wifi connection so I get DC from the sip server .. and if I canceled the turn off device feature it eat the battery ( I think so )
so I wonder if there a way that I make the gene keep wifi up all time even while the device is locked ?? ( do not know if it is stupid question coz it is so easy to be done or noway to be done .. I just hope someone could help me in that )
some help with fring
Hi willyhopa,
I aquire the sd wifi card to use with my p3400 and I can´t work with fring, they can´t find the wifi connection. Do you have the same problem?
How you setup your fring to use wifi connections?
Best regards.
After much brain hammering I finally got WIFI LAN to work on my HTC p3400 (OLD GENE).
You will need:
1. A WLAN SDIO card ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital )
2. A driver for that wlan SDIO card
The card I have has no brand information, so I used the FCC ID : S2Y - SDIOWLAN - 11B...
Searches came up with this driver, turns out the card is SPECTEC.
Install the driver (whichever it may be) on your GENE, try to get WM CommManager if you don't have one.
Get a nice decent web browser
...and you're off!!!
--here's the driver I am using--
hmm seems it is working but i dont have gene will wait for others reply

Hey, try changing simcard and then replacing it back. This will reset your network settings and the IE will work again.

WM6 DUN Connection PDA 2 PDA

Hello, downloaded many great ROMS from the site and have just 1 ickle issue with WM6
Have a Artemis (MDA Compact III) and a Elf (MDA Touch) both running Windows mobile 6. My artmeis is using tomtom and unable to get live updates / traffic reports as the simcard slot is buggered so no GPRS connection. So Idea was too use my Elf to share the connection via GPRS using BT but no luck. Tried the BT DUN cab which did show DUN as a service on my Artemis. Added a new network connection setting, dial up as *99# but nothing is happening when launching a webpage - shows dialing *99# but connection keeps failing.
Hope someone can help
At the risk of sounding silly, the o2 orbit has a 2 year warranty, would it be possible just to get it replaced in an o2 store? (I don't think they've been out 2 years yet?)
handset not faulty ...this is due to the device no longer providing D.U.N as a service due to it being WM6 - basically I need to share my internet connection from 1 PDA to another
doesn't DUN require an active sim card to work tho?
saying that, i just had a quick look and i can make a new connection and select bluetooth as the modem type, unfourtantly i don't have another pda to try, but if its paired with another device would you be able to use the modem on the other device? or is that what you've been trying to do?
I only suggested the warranty as you mentioned the sim card slot was buggered, didn't mean to sound sarcastic! also was about to suggest wifi as an option but then realised that mda compact doesn't have wifi ...
Have you tried this ? I use it to access the web with a WM2003SE device to a WM6 device via bluetooth. I tried all of the other suggested methods/hacks and this is the only thing that works for me.
Hrmm i've been trying to play a multiplayer game via bluetooth with wm6 and found it impossible, is it possible to create a serial connection between to wm6 phones?
not sure if its a simular problem, just reading thru that thread now thanks
Problem is simple - have 2 wm6 devices, MDA Compact III has GPS which I use for TOMTOM but use my simcard in the touch as my phone (prefer to use it for making calls etc), Dont want to keep swapping my sim just to get traffic updates ...
