Summary: Same as TrendNet TE-CF100, Pharos PE-CE100
Review: After a length search online tonight for a replacement to my TrendNet TE-CF100, I found the Hawking and Pharos models.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that these 3 devices are all the same, but with different branding.

How did I find out?

Apart from looking strikingly similar, the latest drivers from Hawking technologies are _identical_ to the ones from TrendNet. The driver package from Pharos is also identical except for the driver DLL itself, which is a little over 21 days older. Otherwise, the files are exactly identical, have the same time/date stamp, and have the same readme.txt files, etc. Therefore, you might want to give the Pharos (the latest driver I could find) a try.

I have several PPC 2003s, and the latest TrendNet driver (v1.5) doesn't work well under any device at all. It's damn slow (3kb/s) Version 1.4 is MUCH better, but you'll need to email tech support at TrendNet to get a copy. They are still not perfect though...

PB.

Summary: Drivers won't install
Review: I am trying to use this product with an IPAQ 5455 plus expansion pack, but haven't been able to get the Pocket PC drivers to install. Hawking Tech support has not been able to help. If you don't need to install drivers to use this on your set up then you may be ok, otherwise beware

Summary: Casio E-200 owners becarefull !
Review: I do not feel good when i rate products with 1 or non star ,always try to catch the mistake at me. I tried two different CF686TXs and neither of them work with my Casio E-200. Before i purchased, i asked Hawking Tech's technical support, they said it will work. But did NOT! After mail dialogs and lots of calls they admit that they did not check it with E-200. The reason why they told me that it will work is Casio E-200 has Windows for pocket pc 2002 and Intel Strongarm CPU which some ipaqs has same(They checked with ipaqs and it's working). Casio E-200 owners becareful ; trendware te-cf100 and Socket Communications 10/100 Ethernet CF Card are also incompatible.If you ask me which one is compatible really i could not find yet. May be casio should show us a way...

Summary: Works great with Zaurus
Review: I wanted a CompactFlash Ethernet card for my Sharp Zaurus (the SL-5500), and this was the cheapest one I could find. It wasn't listed on Sharp's compatibility list, but I saw someone online had mentioned that it had worked for them, so I gave it a try. Plugged it in, configured it in Network & Sync, and it worked right away. (This isn't actually surprising, of course; CompactFlash is just miniaturized PCMCIA, and Linux has great PCMCIA Ethernet support.) Makes a huge difference in installing software; I can use the "Install from Network" button in "Add/Remove Software" to download from package feeds, or use the browser to download package files that aren't available in feeds.

This is with version 2.0.37 of the Zaurus ROM, the one that came preinstalled.

Now if only I can convince my wife to let me put an Ethernet drop in the bedroom. :-)

Summary: Empezó bien, pero luego dejo mucho que desear...
Review: La tarjeta funciono sin mayores inconvenientes en mi ppc con ppc2002, pero al actualizar mi sistema al wm2003 me contacte con los del soporte y me dijeron simplemente que no tenian el driver y que no sabian cuando iban a lanzar un nuevo controlador o incluso me dejo en duda si lo harían. Estoy muy desilucionado con el soporte de hawking technology.

Summary: Drivers won't install
Review: The only reason this didn't get 5 stars is that it could possibly be a little smaller.
That aside, this baby works great. No driver installation or other fiddling required, just plug it in. It runs 100MB in FULL duplex, so it is very fast. I use it in the lab to talk to routers and terminal servers. At home it's a fast way to load SiteScooper web clippings and to save backups.
All in all, an excellent value.
