Summary: Worked out of the box with Sharp Zaurus SL-5500
Review: I've tried other wireless networking products (netgear, belkin) and always come back to Linksys. This CF card worked immediately with my Sharp Zaurus SL-5500. All I had to do was run the internet connection wizard, enter the ESSID of my wireless network, and I was browsing the web with wireless ease. I'll point out that my access point is the Linksys wireless cable/dsl hub. In my experience, all of the Linksys wireless products work together seamlessly -- I haven't had a single problem with them.

Summary: Again, doesn't work with HP Jornada 568
Review: Just note again that this is not for the HP Jornada 568! Just because it works with Windows CE 2.0 and 3.1 is no guarantee. Very disappointing! Think the product should be much clearer on what it works with. Linksys has no information on its site regarding this adapter.

Summary: Saved by WCF11
Review: Our computer mysteriously died thus leaving us internetless. The WCF11 came to our rescue making our laptop an internet-accessible device therefore making us able to stay connected.

Summary: Works great
Review: The previous reviewer said that he cannot get good range from this, but he didn't say what that range was. I can walk anywhere in my house and get great connectivity. I would have to say that the furthest i have gotten so far from my access point in my house would be about 300 feet, and no problem. I have not tested the maximum range yet though.

My walls in my house are not concrete or anything however, so i have never had any problem with 802.11b, (but will probably wish i had concrete when the tornado hits).

Over all, installation was a snap, my range is good, bit of a drain on the battery .You may want to get a wireless pc card and a pc card expanion for the ipaq if battery life is important to you, because the pc card expantion pack comes with its own battery, and the cf expantion does not. So far, the only pcmcia card I KNOW OF that supports windows ce is the Compaq WL110 (which coincidentily is not sold here).

In my opinion, linksys equipment has always been good to me, and this is no exception.

Summary: Quality Product
Review: This is an excellent wireless card for the Sharp Zaurus. I plugged it into the CF slot and then configured the wireless access preference program , then I started the browser and I was up and running in under 5 minutes. I get great range in my house, which isn't huge (so take that into consideration). I use it in conjunction with a Linksys wireless access point and Belkin router and I haven't had a single problem.
