Mobility Site - View Single Post - CF ethernet cards (Socket LP-E, Xircom CF10) not detected in WM5

Well, I can see you're confused so let me help you out (the readme you have there dates to 2001). These are standard NE2000 cards, and I'm not using Xircom's driver (let alone Socket's driver). They don't need an external driver; the driver is installed with the CE OS. These cards have worked out of the box since CE 2. To spell that out more: CE/Palm-sized PC, Pocket PC (2000), HPC 3.0, HPC 2000, Pocket PC 2002, Pocket PC 2003, Pocket PC 2003SE. These cards have never pop an unrecognized card in socket message. The NE2000 driver is in WM5, but the Dell WM5 upgrade does not detect NE2000 ethernet cards. This is specific to the WM5 upgrade to the Dell X50v. It has nothing to do with SH3, Mips, or whatever else you have there. Xircom doesn't even exist as a company, and hasn't for serveral years. Intel bought them back when they were getting into networking. Do you have an ethernet CF card that doesn't work with WM5?

Topic is: Do you have any hardware that should work but doesn't?
