Hie there,
After a lot of problems with my Spectec Wlan sdio card, i've removed the driver and installed the modified E300. So far so good. The new driver connects to my AP.
The problem is that it can't get into the internet.
My laptop can, so it's not the AP.
Also, i've notested that even after removing the Spectec driver, when I go to /settings/connections/connections/advanced/network adapters/, in the list I see the new "Socket WLAN SDIO v2 Driver" but I also see the old "WLAN-11b Adapter" in the list. I believe that this may be the problem.
If so, how can I remove the old driver from this list?^
Thnx
Oops, my bad.
Of course it was the wep key not inserted.
Anyway, stil, how do I remove the old driver form the network card list?
And also (sorry 'bout being pushy), now that I can connect to the internet, i've notested that sometimes (really a lot) when I insert the card and get connected, after a while I take the card off and if I put it back again it won't work. I have to softreset for it to work again. It's very annoying.
Everytime I take the card off i need to softreset before put it back on.
How can I prevent this?
Thnx

I have recently bought one of these on ebay for my Qtek 2020
Here is a link to a similar sale: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3728&item=5716896682
So far the card has worked fine. It connects to my Access point at home (I have a Belkin 54g AP) and I have also connected it in ad-hoc mode to my laptop using a D-Link 54g PC Card. No indication of battery life effects yet, but the card does get warm in use.
I have failed so far to get ActiveSync to connect over the network, but that just might be a firewall issue with my company laptop. I can browse the laptop hard disc without trouble and stream mp3's to the PDA fine.
If only Pocket PC2003 network settings was a bit more user freindly!
The SanDisk card has two problems that are really annoying. Can you tell me if this card:
1. Can connect to WPA-protected access points?
2. If you remove the card, and re-insert it, will it work without having to reset the device?
WPA access is supported in the application, but I haven't tried it as I use MAC address control on my home AP. I could give it a try if you need it tested.
I can remove and replace the card and it reconnects without having to do a reset. If you replace it very quickly after removing it it will get confused, but I guess that's not unreasonable.
That's much better than the Sandisk. You have to reset the device if you remove it and want to use it again. And tech support says that is normal! Idiots. The Sandisk also doesn't support WPA. The application says it does, and it will take the key, but it doesn't work. Once again, Sandisk support says that is normal.
So...if you have some time to try out WPA at some point, it would be very useful to know.
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.

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
Hi all,
i have a big problem with my Sandisk wifi and an Himalaya.
I have WM2003SE 2.06 and i got a lot of problems to connect to wifi ap.
I used both sandisk and microsoft drivers, but i got the same problem:
The ppc see the AP and try to connect, without success... i see "connecting" than back to "avaible"
Only after a lot of reset/remove insert sd card i got connected.
I tried dhcp/static wep/open, same problem.
anyone got this problem too?
Thanks
Try using the Socket drivers - it worked for me. I just need to find out how to get IE working properly!
Hi all...
Not sure if anyone else has come across this, but with my 8125, I got into the habit of connecting to my lan via wifi and just leaving wifi on even when I set the 8125 to sleep. Whenever I would bring it out of sleep, the wifi would just connect again. The 8525 refuses to wake up so I end up having to do a soft reset.
Other issues... I had also gotten used to leaving gprs enabled since I have an unlimited data package. Again, with the 8125, everything was great. With the 8525, not so great. When leaving gprs enabled, the connection seems to die even though it still says I'm connected. I can't browse the internet, update Pocketweather, etc. I end up having to disable gprs for a bit and then trying again.
Anyone else have these issues? If so, did you fix and how?
TIA!
*bump*
No one else is having these issues?
i had the wifi issues you describe on my 8125 (it would not wake up after connecting to wifi and going to sleep). i have not yet used the wifi on my 8525.
Do you have a media card installed?
Do you have any apps installed to this card?
If so then, using a microSD adapter, plug it into an XP machine and run defrag on the card. This solved my problems immediately.
If this doesn't help you need to look at what apps are installed on your card and uninstall if necc.

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.
