Okay - so I thought it was a good idea to buy a combo card, not realising that this wasn't supported, when the standard WiFi-only card from SanDisk was... I'm not normally a compulsive buyer - that's what I get!!!
Has anybody come up with a work-around yet? I can't even get the WiFi part working at the moment, never mind the memory... I've got as far as being able to interrogate the card (but no AP browser) and haven't been able to format the memory, or connect to an AP (even though the little LED goes solid green). I wondered whether I'd see any improvement if I updated my ROM from 1.60WWE to 1.72WWE?
Thanks
The 256+WIFI is not supported by the XDAII
Sorry to break this to you but the card simply won't work. Apparently the XDA2 does not have the right internal drivers available to support the dual cards.
I am afraid that your ownly option is to return the card and buy separate memory and wifi cards.
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.

Is there anyway possible to either open up the XDA and change out the SD slot or some kind of other modification to change it to work as an SD I/O I would do anything to make this work. I want badly to do wifi with the xda and there is no way as of yet. Any clues?
Cant be done, its a hardware limitation.
Can you just by the SanDisk WiFi SD card?
Or get the XDA IIi?

I think the sandisk wifi is sdio card so it wont work with xda.
cruisin-thru is right.
dcantato wants to modify the XDA's SD slot to allow him/her to use SDIO cards like the WiFi card.
Unfortunately, this is not possible.
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
Bought a used uni from someone here and am trying to get it fixed (no gsm, wifi doesn't work, but otherwise seems fairly stable) I have no intent to use as a phone, just a connected pda around the house. I know I can always buy an sd wifi card, but that's no fun and doesn't teach me anything. I've got it all in pieces here and am hosing it down with contact cleaner, and I have an extremely basic question:
Do I have to have a sim card to use wifi?
Thanks!
No you don't need a sim card for that. I have a second mda pro at home and i don't have a sim card in it but i can still use the internet. So my answer is no.
