Wireless PCMCIA card for Win CE?

Does anyone know of a wireless PCMCIA card that has drivers that are compatible with Windows CE 4.2 or even possibly 5.0 (ideally 4.2)

I have been using an Aeronet 350 wireless lan bus card for part of a project and unfortunately I can't get hold of them as Cisco seems to have discontinued them. This leaves Cisco no longer supporting the Windows CE platform with any of their wireless cards and I am now struggling to find an alternative card that does support Win CE. If you know of any that could help then please let me know asap. I would be most grateful!

We've been using a Socket Go E300 SD card on Symbol's MC1000 - they have a Compact Flash one which might work with a PC Card converter, but it doesn't look like they have general CE 4.2 drivers. IIRC PCMCIA and CF are the same logical interface, only with different connectors.

Dabs only list 3COM PC Cards with 802.11a/b/g. Unfortunately none of them have CE drivers. I also looked at Linksys - no CE drivers there either.

A lot of hardware's going obsolete at the moment due to the new WEEE regulations - in many cases the manufacturer would have to redesign the device in order to meet the regulations, and for a legacy device, they may decide that the return on investment would be too low.

Have you looked at Cisco's newer 802.11a/b/g adapter? I was looking to see if there was a CE driver, but unfortunately you have to register to download the drivers. The datasheet only lists Windows XP and 2000 support, however.

Lucent Technologies WaveLAN cards have Win CE drivers. I used to use it with a PCMCIA sleeve on an ipaq 3560. easy to set up.

I asked our guy who knows about these things. He knows of a few CF cards but no PCMCIA.

(I can't believe I got a reply at 11.10pm - that guy seriously needs to stop taking his work home!)

Since we use Symbol devices, I can recommend the "Symbol CF Wireless Network Card". It is a CF card, but you can eayily put it in a pcmcia adaptor.

It sould also work with Win CE 5.0

Socket just announced the P500 802.11g compact flash card with support for Windows CE 4 and 5. THis card would work in you PCMCIA slot.

We have tried P500, however it has troubles with WPA/TKIP PEAP MSCHAPV2. Even tried to use Odyssey client from Juniper, but no luck. The card fails to execute commands from Odclient in 90% of times.
