Summary: This card + Zaurus = Happy
Review: Excellent support on Linux PDAs, specifically Sharp Zaurus. Tested in both an SL-5500 and SL-C760 and works like it's supposed to. ;-)

Review: I got this card as a replacement for another brand which didn't work reliably and so far I am satisfied with it. I had no difficulty installing it on my Dell Axim X5 running WM2003. Ambicom has drivers for both Pocket PC 2002 and WM2003 on their website. The card quickly connects to the Verizon Hotspots that I subscribe to. My only complaint is that this card's power consumption rate is pretty high. Overall, it is a good deal though.

Review: I had a Linksys WCF12 that would RARELY work with my Axim X5 running WM2003, even using the updated drivers and all the posted tricks. Really frustrating, and Linksys support was worthless.

I bought this card three days ago, received it today, loaded the driver and popped it into the CF slot. Voila! It just plain works, without fuss, pleasing or incantations. The power draw is slightly higher than Belkin's equivalent card, but the form factors are almost identical and the shipping from Amazon was free.

A great purchase!

Review: I have it with me for about 3 months now and works great on my Dell Axim X5 running on PPC2002. It works on wardriving tools such as Pocket warrior and Air sniffer when using the Intersil reference drivers.

Review: Installed on my iPAQ h2215 without any problems. Use the driver off their website. Don't plug in the CF Card until you have installed the driver. It is power hungry. I got about three hours of surfing/downloading data, from a fully charged battery, before the low battery warning sounded. (Warning set at 25% remaining). For the price I recommend it. Just keep a travel charger with you. The Belkins Sync Travel Pak is great.

Summary: Perfect for Zaurus 5600 PDA
Review: Instantly worked on my Sharp Zaurus 5600.

1 - Update zaurus OS to version 2 (dowload it from the Sharp Site and follow instructions from the site: Remove battery, press reset button, reboot.. etc.)

2 - Once the Zaurus reboots:
Go to Settings->Network and enter the appropiate settings (SSID name, WEP key - if any, etc).

/// IT WILL NOT WORK IF YOU SKIP THIS FIRST 2 STEPS !!! ///

3 - Insert the CF Card, light on the CF will start blinking while searching for a wireless connection - When connection is stablished, light stays on.

4 - Open Opera browser and start surfing the web.

Additional comments:
--------------------

a) The pages download incredibly fast.
b) I have a linksys 802.11b wireless router.
c) I did not use at all the CD drivers that came with the CF card.. I think the CD is used only for the Pocket PC PDAs.

If you own a Zaurus go buy this card right now and you will not go through all the suffering of trying different cards and sending them back to the vendor because they do not work !

Summary: Works on both PocketPC and XP
Review: It works not only on PocketPC but also on PC. I had a ThinkPad X21 w/ a CF slot. I installed the PC card version driver from the supplied software CD and plugged in the CF card and it works just fine. A great choice for laptop w/ CF slot for its micro form factor.

Summary: It works very well
Review: The card is based on the Prism chipset - it is supported
by Linux (e.g., Zaurus), and I believe most Windows versions.
The range was better than that of a comparable Linksys card.
A very good, easy to install, card.
