SanDisk wireless CF card 802.11b $49.99 shipped

dang, if only I found this BEFORE I bought mine! I bought the netgear one, I am guessing it's just the same one, rebadged. If I am right, then this will work with WinCE 2.11 also wtih the Compaq WL-100 drivers.
actually, compusa usually has good deals on these. well, they've had the netgear and belkin for $40 AR, and the dlink for $30 AR. and they just had a linksys for $40 AR also
i'd go with one of those, cause though they have rebates, it's a better brand. and performance does differ (belkin performed worse than dlink and netgear. lost the signal when i went to the kitchen, while others didn't)

i was wondering what a CF card and 802.11b had in common. forgot compact flash was used for other peripherals besides storage.

Been using mine for a little over a week, and so far so good.
No loss of signal at all...... Hope that it stays that way!

have you guys seen the sandisk 128 meg cf and 802.11b card? they're selling it at dell for $100. so pretty expensive, but good if you have only 1 slot (and only need 128 megs)

Does this have an external antennae jack? I need to find a CF card that does, and this is a great price.

i don't quite understand 'external antenna jack' 100% , but i don't see any thing of that kind . the antenna is kinda thick and big.
I'm looking for a card that I can plug an external antenna in to. The Orinoco's have a hole on the end of the card with a little plastic plug in them. If you pop the plug out you can plug an antenna in. Other card you have to pop the built-in antenna out to plug an external in. I'll just google it and try to find a site that says if it does.
Does anyone know if these cards will work with a notebook and/or desktop with a CF reader? CF is the one format that is common to all three sizes of computer, and it would be nice to have one card that would connect any of them wirelessly.
One thing to look out for on any CF Wifi cards: see how big the antenna is. Some antennas are huge (cough belkin) and block off mike jacks.
Other note: CUSA has CF 802 cards at $30 a lot. I've seen Ambicom alone at least twice (I heard Ambicoms are good) and I've seen cheap D-Links, Linksys, etc. I also sa wa $20 after MIR one @ CUSA once (just once).
Note 2: check for Win Mobile 2k3 compatibility before buying if you have a WM2k3 device.

Does anyone know which chipset the Sandisk uses? I believe Belkin and Linksys usually use Broadcom chipsets while D-Link and Netgear have usually integrated Intersil chipsets.
