Hi!
Having upgraded to Blue Angel I'm selling my Wi-Fi Card.
Here are the specs:
All you need is a Pocket PC 2003 (running Windows Mobile 2003) with an SDIO slot running SDIO Now!, and you can use the SDIO WLAN Card to access the Internet, email, and corporate servers.
Now you can access enterprise and public Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) Wireless LAN systems from your Pocket PC 2003 using the smallest and lightest form factor available. Socket’s SDIO Low Power Wireless LAN Card card is the industry’s first SDIO card that lets you wirelessly connect to Wi-Fi networks to access the Internet, email, and corporate servers.
Extend the reach and usefulness of your company’s wireless LAN resources. From conference rooms, training centers, and cafeterias, you are free to work, teach or study wherever you’re most productive.
The ability to work while on the road or away from the office or school is becoming more important to today’s mobile user. Public hot spots, such as coffee shops, hotels, shopping malls and airports, are offering wireless Internet access based on the 802.11b standard.
People who need to share information can meet anywhere, bringing only their mobile computers, and wirelessly transfer files either as a broadcast to all members or peer-to-peer.
The card works with a variety of WLAN security protocols. You can use the WLAN card with an open system or encrypted network with 40/64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys. The card is also compatible with 802.1x networks with EAP-TLS or PEAP, so you can connect securely without eavesdropping.
Socket designed the SDIO Low Power WLAN Card to be Battery Friendly®. When your Pocket PC is connected to a wireless LAN, the WLAN card is in idle (listening) mode about 90% of the time, with occasional short bursts of data being transmitted/received. Plus, Socket’s SDIO WLAN software offers a Power Save Mode. Using Socket’s card means that you’ll get the maximum possible battery life from your Pocket PC.
Thanks,
Chris
Would this work with the XDA Mini (magician) ?
If yes, How much do you want for it ?
It's on Ebay...
I have no idea about the magician... It worked on my Himalaya...
It depends if your SD slot is "SDIO now" enabled
Or just try on expansys.com and see if it is indicated a possible accesory.
It's on ebay:

Hi everybody,
I can think of half a dozen ridiculous applications for a wi-fi connection between my xda2s and my PC, but I'm having problems determining what I need to buy on the PC side: access point, network adapter, wireless network card??
What do you think is the best/cheapest option?
Thanks,
Camed
i think that access points i'm not 100 sure cant connect to other devics and only be connected to from others
and i'm not really sure what you mean the difference between these 2 options are unless you mean network adapter to connect to the access point
" network adapter, wireless network card"
If you should choose to buy an access point, go for a AP with router funtionality.
The price is (should be) allmost the same..
This will allow you to share your broadband (if you got one) connection with both your XDA and your PC.
The phone via standard TP cable (or WLAN), and the phone through WLAN.
The way these will interact with each other, is just like two computers in a network (TCP/IP protocoll).
As for the network adapter and wireless card, these are the same thing..
The only difference is the way you connect them to your computer. (PCI, PCMCIA, USB, etc..)
With these you will be able to use Ad-Hoc, wich is just like a crossed TP cable between two computers.. Allso using the TCP/IP protocol..
As for price, a USB WLAN device should be the cheapest, at $30-$50..
The WLAN router is the most expencive component, priced from $100-$200 i guess..
DISCLAIMER: The prices are estimates! They may vary a lot! And they are based upon the 802.11g (54mbps) standard. 802.11b (11mbps) may be cheaper..
I have a wireless router (with 4 port lan) connected directly to my cable modem. It provides a lot of flexibility. For example, into the router I have plugged my main PC (upstairs), and a Bluetooth Access Point. Downstairs I use my wireless laptop and am able to be online through my broadband connection. I have an XDA II which does not have WiFi, but no matter, because I can use the bluetooth access point to get online. If any friends or family come with their PCs or Laptops, I just plug in either a wireless PCMCIA card into their laptops or a USB wireless adapter into their PCs and they too can get online. I also have a wireless printer server, which is great because I can print from any PC without the requirement of a different PC being logged in.
I can suggest you a bit more advanced solution, specially if you have dedicated internet channel with ethernet cabble on your side (e.g. ADSL modem with ethernet connector or even TP cabble going to you from provider): just buy gateway with access point built in.
An additional benefits of this approach are permanent internet availability via WiFi even if desctop PC is powered off and easy creation of secured SOHO (Small Office or Home Network) infrastructure.
There are a number of such devices. Most of them will provide you with similar functionality:
- one "WAN" ethernet port (where you connect twisted pair from your provider or ADSL);
- usually 4 "LAN" ports where you may connect all your home computers or just make network outlets in different rooms
- WiFi access point built in
- DHCP server for LAN clients headache'less connectivity, NAT server, Firewall (WAN to LAN, LAN to WAN, WLAN to LAN etc) with IP and URL filtering and different tunelling presets, DNS proxy and a lot of flexibility in creation of different virtual servers.
- almost all firewall settings may be scheduled allowing you to restrict the time your family wil play online games
- supports modern strong WiFi encryption and authorisation with WPA or WPA/SK protocols
For example I can suggest Asus WL 500g (which is I bought)
http://www.asuscom.ru/products/communication/wireless/wl-500g/overview.shtml
Cheap enough ($90), flexible, stylish and with number of additional features. With firmware sources available. Print server and FTP/Webcam server (optional)
But: 802.11b/g only, have no built-in battery for internal clock working while device is turned off. Internal clock are automatically sinchronized with external time server when it become available after power-on.
Or another solution, D-Link DI-784 (my office WiFi infrastructure based on this device):
-802.11 a/b/g
-have built-in AC-independent clock
-a bit more powerfull transiver
but more expensive ($200)

As I said above there are a number of such devices on the market, but I deal with these two only...
I recently got a good quality bluetooth dongle for my laptop (msi star key) so I could increase my functionality with my audiovox harrier ppc6600 PH20A2
It's a great little unit, lots of fun, and I even added wifi via a wifi sdI0 card.
I find, however, that it has a great deal of trouble doing the bluetooth with my computer. I did have activesync and file sharing running one night, but it wouldn't browse the LAN or Internet via bluetooth so I mucked with internet connection sharing, blew out the laptop wifi connection, mucked about some more till it was fixed, checking, unchecking, and reconfiguring sharing here and there, and since then, the blue tooth just doesn't satisfy. I can only get activesync to work after establishing it via usb, then I can remove from cradle and get a bluetooth session. Pretty useless that way though, as the usb is what I'm trying to escape from!
I'd really love to access the mp3 folder on my server computer.
LAN configuration: dsl modem to wifi/router, wired to server (delilah w2kpro), wireless to Dan(workstation) sam (laptop), wii, and sometimes wired to experimental linux workstation (not really working yet. )
I can access wifi when sd adapter is in the pda, but most of the time a favorite sd card is in there stocked with music, books, and videos.
Laptop browses the network just fine, server has 47G of tunes I'd like to be able to play on the pda out in the garden using the bluetooth on the laptop to serve it up (if it reaches that far from the kitchen)
Anyway, generally I'd just like to be able to add the pda to my network, do file sharing, browsing, and activesync, via the bluetooth dongle. Dongle integrates nearly seamlessly with the OS (winXP tablet) on the laptop.
Anyone out there messed with this stuff? Got suggestions on how to rebuild the bluetooth stack and get it working smoothly again? Maybe I need to completely uninstall the laptop bluetooth?
Thanks
Bluetooth functionality IN THE PPC 4100? CAN YOU HELP ME?
THANK'S
I have a HP Ipaq 1930 with a wifi SD card (spectec 821)
Currently on WM2003, can this be upgraded? Can i run a newer version of Windows Mobile on this, and how is it done?
This is mainly because the wifi card i have doesn't come with any software , only drivers so its hard to tell which wifi networks are protected etc, also can the pda with a wifi card be setup for network security testing e.g. wep cracking etc. as i would like to use this as a wireless network testing kit for client's wireless AP's.
this is the one i have by the way:
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335918419&toolid=10001&customid=pda&ext=170247836844&item=170247836844
k. i live in the woods and my dsl modem fried from lightning last night. i have a ****ty isp that can only be reachable by submitting a service request via email since i work during their service hours of 12-3pm. i have to wait a week for a new modem
tldr; i need a program and directions that have proven to work'
here's my setup
windows xp sp3
audiovox 6600(camera)
windows mobile 2003se
usb cradle
well, what is your actual problem, connect your device to gprs, put it in the cradle and if activesync is set to accept, that the device runs wireless data connections, even while cradled, your internet connection should work. your pc should simply use the devices gprs then and automatically be connected to the internet. other alternatives (in case that doesn't work) would be, if you have wi-fi on your pc, you can try and install a wi-fi router software to your device and connect your pc to it just like with a normal access point, a freeware to try would be htc wifi router, although i fairly doubt any of those programs run with wm2003, but that should give you a clou, what to look for.
problem: wm2003se has no easy way to bum internet off of, only through the usb cable
sprint is cdma
there is no 802.11 wifi on this phone.
Still looking for help.
You can share a 3G network to a laptop via an HTC Touch Pro2 but, near as I can tell, you can't share a Wi-Fi connection? ie. if my laptop doesn't, itself, have a Wi-Fi connection, can I use my cellphone's Wi-Fi connectivity to connect to a Wi-Fi network?

I think that he's wanting to use the phone as a wifi adapter (i.e. wireless NIC) for his laptop, rather than using the phone as a wifi router. In other words...his laptop does't have built-in wifi at all, so he wants to use his phone to accomplish that rather than an external USB stick, card, etc. I've been curious for a while if that's even possible, but haven't come across any methods yet...

That's exactly it. Most places I go to have ethernet cables I can plug into but, from time to time, I find myself at a place that just has 802.11b/g access points. Rather than carry a PCMCIA wireless adapter around with me so that I might use it once every blue moon, I'd just assume use something I already have on me - my cellphone - as a wireless adapter.
Alternatively, if I, at a future date, got a laptop with a built in wireless adapter, it'd still be nice to be able to have two wireless adapters. ie. maybe the 802.11g network I'm connecting to uses WPA and I'm trying to connect with a Nintendo DS that only supports WEP networks. I could, in theory, use my cell phone as an adapter to the WPA network and turn my laptop into a WEP access point.
I'd say there are several use cases for being able to use a cellphone as an adapter to an 802.11g network, although I will grant that they're probably fairly niche use cases.
I am also interested in this as it would allow me to use my laptop for free internet at places like starbucks where my Tilt 2 gets to connect for free.
Internet>>> ATT Wifi >>> Tilt 2 >>>> Laptop
I too would love this functionality. If anyone knows of an app/registry hack/whatever that enables this, please post the details here.

WMWifiRouter (not free) has this functionality. Along with the standard features like cellular to WiFi and cellular to USB, WMWifiRouter also does more exotic connections like WiFi to USB. It's €15, but it's an application with a lot of functionality and the developer who created it is a very highly respected XDA member, who provides many of his other products for free.

Awesome, thanks Dave. I'd been thinking about buying it anyway in place of the (very basic) free wifi router app I found on here too, and now it sounds like a no-brainer
Just did it
I just did this very setup earlier with my HTC Tilt 2. I had the phone connected to my Wi-Fi network, and turned off my Wi-Fi on my laptop. Connected the phone to the laptop using the USB cable, and selected "Use as modem" and it was an automatic process...i'm running Windows 7 on my laptop..if that helps..it just worked.
