Summary: Socket Communications Low Power LAN CF Card
Comment: Terrible piece of technology. I purchased this item for my HP IPAQ 2210 and could never get it to work properly. I even went as far as to lock up my PDA and I would have to do a hard boot to recover. I will make the transition to a smartphone such as a Blackberry, or iPhone that will accomplish the same tasks as the IPAQ PDA.

Summary: Very nice CF wireless card
Comment: This is a great card. I use it with my iPaq 3950 and it provides excellent connection quality, on par with laptop PCMCIA cards. Also it does not drain my battery and seems to use almost no power when I am getting a strong signal (close to the access point).
The client software and drivers also work nicely with PocketPC 2002. I have heard it's better with PPC 2003 but haven't tried it. I did have some problems making the card work properly under Linux, but that was more than a year ago and I believe there are now community-created Linux drivers ready for this card.
The other great thing about this card is its durability. It is very compact and very sturdy solid and does not protrude very far from the device. I was never concerned about breaking it off, even with the iPaq in my pocket.
One time, I removed the Socket wireless card and stashed it in the coin pocket of my jeans. I forgot it was there, and put the jeans through the washer and dryer (both on maximum hot setting). When I pulled the jeans out of the dryer and realized the card was still in the pocket, my heart sunk. It had gotten very wet and hot. But the plastic was not warped and the labels on the card did not even come off. When I plugged it in the next day, it still worked just fine! Impressive - but don't try this at home!

Summary: Zaurus Users: This is the correct card (as of 3/2004)
Comment: Zaurus users, there is an "old" and a "new" version of this card. This is the older version, which is more expensive, but works out of the box with the current Zaurus Spectrum drivers available on myzaurus.com. The new version is the WL6004, which is B00012PS8G, but does not have Zaurus driver support as of 3/6/2004.Don't buy the cheaper, newer card unless you're convinced the drivers are available at the time you read this.

Summary: No customer support
Comment: It's the most expensive CF card with absolutely no customer support. After a while the CF card stopped working - no power light as if the card "burned out". I really can't tell you exactly what went wrong because it's impossible to contact someone at Socket customer support. I followed their web-site instructions but was never contacted. I'll never buy another Socket product again.
