Wifi
I have a NetGear wifi-b/g PC card and a PC-to-CF adaptor for my IPAQ 36xx series. I also upgraded to the latest OS a few months ago. If I just plug in the card to the sleeve, and turn on the IPAQ, will the new OS automatically sniff out the Wi-Fi signal?

Welcome to iPaqHQ.

Off the bat the card will not work when you plug it into your device without drivers. I don't think there is PPC drivers for that kind of card.

I would also question why you would want to use that kind of card with a PC Card-to-CF adapter when you could just get a CF wifi card. CF wifi cards are really cheap nowadays. There was several Symbol CF wifi cards on eBay going for $30.00. The card comes with drivers for the PPC. There are also other cards.

Generally, PC Cards for laptops where not meant for PPC device although some devices can be used.

A $30 card? That sounds great. Where do I get it?

You can go to eBay and find a cheap cf card.
