OK what do you expect from a 10/100 card in 2003? It better work... well this one had no hickups on my Toshiba e740. Good
package (ubiquitos tamper-broof plastic) and extremely sparse
manual. All you have to do is drop in the CD, install the driver, and reset. Then drop in the card. The Toshiba has built in WiFi, but sometimes I need a traditional hardwire connection. This card is definitely the one to get.
I ran various sniffing, ping, telnet, and other advanced netorking programs - all functioned flawlessly. There is an
update of the driver on the socketcom.com web site, but installing the update had no perceptible change.
Recommended.

What can I say, it worked.

It takes some time for it to initialize like maybe 1-2 minutes.
Some times it will never work unless you re-seat it so its best to re-seat it every time.

You need to make sure you computer is running active sync in order for you to install the drivers.
With vista you have to go into your control panel and enable the active sync. XP launched the active
sync as soon as it detected my pda.

Everything else works like any other PDA network device so the menus are all the same.
On the software side you don't have to modify any of your code to get this to work.

The Socket Communications 10/100 Ethernet CF Card works great with my HP IPAQ 3800.

I purchased this for my Casio E-200. I assumed it would work since it was using a CF Slot I type. I tried everything possible but nothing worked. I went to the socketcom.com webpage and there was nothing listed saying it would not. The worst thing is this was the only 10/100 card I found and really wanted it for testing LAN's. Now I either wait for the drivers or purchase a 10mb card instead. One last item is the technical support did reply very quickly in regards to my question on compatibility.
