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

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
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.
originally ordered the Sandisk card, but as they were out of stock i recieved a Inov8 one.
but it doesnt seem to work at all. ive tried formatting it on my laptop, but my mda still doesnt see it.
anyone elses experienced this???
Hi there guys Was wondering if any one can point me in the direction of how to set up my wifi card i bought two days ago, I just called TDMS - T-mobile and spoke to there well trained staff who said they dont have a clue what im on about, My MDA can search for spots no probs and pick them up, But for some reason i just cant connect at all, Do i need to assign for example a specific IP address or Even a certain domain?!?! I know there was a thread in regards to this, But ive looked and it takes me to no further than what im at just now, Any help would be much apppreciated.
Joseph.
Ok since i have posted my last "Q", I have tried my MDA without a sim card in, So my web and walk CANT start, tried using the wifi, But it seems that the MDA is still looking for the GPRS to connect over wifi first, Any solutions around this?! Help would be great
Joseph.

Ok thanks for that.
my wifi sd card also can`t work with wm6!
I have a i-tec SDIO Wlan and it is working better under clean wm6. Having some problems under original ROM. I mentioned the same thing - Charmer tried to connect over GPRS first. Under the clen new ROM with wm6 - there are no pre-deffined connections - wlan works much better. Maybe you needo to install some WM5 drivers to get it work.
I'm using the SpecTec SDW-820 (11 MBit) with my Charmer (T-Mobile Germany, WM5/AKU3.3) and it works quite good. However, from time to time it seems like Windows does not recognize the card. If I insert the card, just nothing happens at all. After a soft-reset, everything is fine again. Strange issue, since it's working most of the time without any trouble.
