Socket LP-E (low power ethernet) NE2000 card: Unrecognized Card - Enter the name of the device driver for this card. For information, see the card manufacturer's documentation. [Unknown card in Socket 1]

Xircom CompactCard Ethernet 10 NE2000 card: Unrecognized Card - Enter the name of the device driver for this card. For information, see the card manufacturer's documentation. [Unknown card in Socket 1]

These are standard NE2000-compatible CF cards. They have worked with more than a dozen past CE devices right out of the box. The NE2000 driver is a built-in driver, and has been since CE 2, but apparently is broken in this Dell WM5 upgrade. Bummer. The NE2000 driver is listed in the "Network Cards" list, but it's not recognizing either card.

(This is not activesync related.)
