I can't find a downloadable driver for it anywhere. I bought it about a week ago for my X5, running 2003, and it just came in the mail today. WM has a pop up message saying, "Enter the name for the driver of this card." The power light goes on for a second or two, until that message pops up.

I'm assuming I just need the drivers for it to get it to work.

Does anyone have a driver CD that goes to it?


Edit: Oops, I spelled "Canon" wrong!

You definitely need the drivers for the card to function properly. Does the person who sold you the card have the CD or can point you to a download? Google? There seems to be several hits for eBay that mention their sales include the driver CD.

First, I'm assuming your thread title has a mistyped name - that you really meant Canon k30225 CF WiFi. I say that because a search for Caonon only finds misspelled Canon devices and a search for k30225 brings up many links for a Canon WiFi card. However, having said that, it seems all those links eventually lead you to eBay and none of the images of the card show any Canon label on the device. Did the packaging you received have anything with the Canon trademark? The Canon site gives no indication that they make, or even market, this card.

Assuming you did not receive a CD with the drivers, I think your best hope is to try sHARD>>'s Perfect Prism program for installing the Intersil reference drivers. IF the card has a Prism chipset, this might work. You should probably backup your PPC before installing them so you can get back to the current state if they do not work.

Yes, I misspelled "Canon." The card has no brand on it, but it says Canon in the listing. I also looked up Canon's site, and there is nothing about any WiFi cards in the USA and Japan site... Here is the item I purchased. The listing also says it comes with the driver CD, but it came with nothing but the card in the package.

YES!! THANK YOU!:approve: You've given me a valuable clue. It says "Base in prism3.0 chip" clearly on the page. Being new to the whole wireless thing, I never would have noticed that. I'l try that!

As for backing up my data, it is too late for that! I already backed it up and did a hard reset, hoping that some program was interfering.

I did a little research, and entered "NE2000" into the pop up message, and it no longer popped up every time I put it in, and the power light stays on, but the "Link" LED (I'm assuming this means connected) never does anything. WM says that it is connected, PIE says "Cannot find the page," and NetFront says "Error! Type: DNS no server is specified."

It worked! Thank you so much! (This reply was made on my PPC!)

I wish there was some way I could repay you...

Click the thanks button for him.

That's very cool that you got this card to work. There are still a bunch of these available on eBay. Looks like they can be had for about $22 after shipping, which is pretty sweet.

Did you end up using sHARDS perfect prism drivers?

sHARD>>

If that did fix it I'm glad my driver work is still helping people. Let me know and I'll add it to the offical working list (which hasn't been updated since 2005, alas).

I just bought this card via ebay for about $19 as well. Already had the dell x5 drivers for the xterasys CWB1000 Driver Downloads on my waypoint pda. I was able to get the K30225 working just by typing in prismnds when it asked for the name of the network card.

sHARD>> the perfect prism drivers worked for me (I also purchased one of these cards off of eBay). I can see my network, but apparently the drivers or WM2003 do not support WPA encryption, just WEP so I can not connect to my network. =(

ikehiker

WPA is not supported on WM03 (or PPC02) devices.

Is this going to work with WinCE 3.0/PPC2002?

If no, can you help me finding a driver for it?

Thanks and have a nice day

After lurking around this site for awhile I just had to register to give a big thanks to for his help of getting the right driver so I was able to get my Axim5 on WIFI.

Hi I'm looking for driver to the same card but WM6 system.
