5.0 out of 5 stars Best wireless card I've tried, June 28, 2004

OK, I don't typicaly sing the praises of wireless network cards -- I've had my share of frustration with them in the past (limited range, connection failures, etc.). But the SMC2642W is the best of any cards I've tried -- and that includes full size PCMCIA versions!

I originally order a Dell branded 802.11b card with my Axim X5. I could never get it to work even when standing next to the access point. So, back it went.

I little gun shy, it was a while before I risked trying another CF card. But a great deal on the SMC card convinced me to give it a try. Setup is a little complicated under PocketPC 2002, but this is not SMC's fault and I understand that PocketPC 2003 is much better in this regard. Even so, I was up and running in about 15 minutes.

This SMC card has yet to fail to connect from anywhere in the house (with SMC AP) or my office (with D-Link AP). I can connect much more easily than with my two PCMCIA cards (one of them also an SMC).

After the bad experience with the Dell card, this card is a joy to use. Also, it fits very nicely into the Axim without obstructing any connectors. Power consumption seems fine, although I usually unplug it when I don't need it.

Highly recommended (and I thought I'd never say that about an 802.11b card).

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great on iPaq, June 28, 2003

The card works great in my iPaq 3835 with the CF Sleeve. Installation was simple, and with the power save mode, I get about 3 hours of use from the battery in the CF sleeve.
