de-activate internal card and using other (spetec) - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

Hello,
the network card that hat my orange m600 (qtek s200) works badly with cisco AP's in my work, but works with other normal AP's (linksys, etc)
I think taht perhaps can buy other wifi sd card, like SPETEC, but anyone know how-to de-activate the internal wifi card ?
or anyone know a software that allow me edit internal parameters ( buffer sizes, etc ) for the internal card?
Any suggestion are welcome,
Than you in advance,
Jose

XDA II & SanDisk WiFi 256 Combo SD card

Has anyone got these working togther yet? If i use the san disk driver, the XDA II hangs when i try to scan for AP's, the socketcom driver just ignores the card, i have yet to try it with the latest 02 rom, but i dont hold out much hope, i cant even get it to format the storage card properly
cheers
Joel
Sorry, i seem to have put this in the wrong forum, will someone move it into the acessories for me (unless its more appropriate here)
as far as im aware you carnt use the these with the xdaII unless you disable the storage card, i have the wificard on its own and it works a treat (with the new 02 rom) .
How do you disable the storage? Does the socket verson of this card work?
sorry i didnt read it i just noticed bits and bobs as i have just the wifi with no memmory i got some bad news for you

Nevermind, i just swapped it for a wifi card and enough money to buy a 256meg SD card

Is there a problem with ths SanDisk SD WIFI card?

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.

Modify the SD slot on XDA's?

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.

The WEIRDEST thing on my Trinity

I had the weirdest thing on my Trinity while in New York. I was on 3G and was surfing the net. Because I installed Memmaid 1.72 on my pda (main memory), i moved my temp file tp my Sandisk Ultra 2 Gigabyte mini sd card. I also installed Pocket Mechanics 2.23 on the main memory and did defragmentation of my mini sd card to optimize the speed. I did this several times. Mind you all is great, surfing was wonderful then all of a sudden while trying to access xda-developers.com from my pda on 3g Cingular, it froze and couldn't advance past 35 kb. I repeated it twice then gave up. I went to my mini sd and all the folders and files vanished. Even the programs I installed on the mini sd. When checking the insalled programs in the settings, they were still on my device but the actual files in the mini sd where gone so the program icons did not work. I am not sure what happened. So I formated the mini sd now and it went back to 1933 mgbs free on the card. Before formating it had 160 mbs in use but nio actual files visible when accessing the card. Does anyone know what happened to my card Is it a rom issue?
Thanks,
Gilbert
hi Gilbert
i am not sure about that, but for my experience I had the same idenctical problem after defragmented the external memory with pocket mechanic, so after loosed my data once again I dont use P.M. anymore and my problems now are solved.
Hope this helps

Yeah, I wouldn't use it either. I've found the best way to format my SD cards is to take them out of the device copy all the files to the pc using a card reader and format the card using Windows XP.

Wifi SD Cards

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
