hmmm that does not sound good

07-31-03, 01:38 PM

Well there are no drivers yet. They say there will be soon, whatever that means...

i was thinking using the drivers that came with the card , or using the newones on the webpage , that are for XP but did not come with the box

07-31-03, 01:46 PM

The drivers are for PPC 2002, not WM 2003....

I had emailed Netgear soon after Mobile 2003 was released and they said they didn't have anything then.

Cageyjames, some actually get it to work?

well i just emailed net geat about the MA701 wireless card

I've got the Netgear MA701 and it works great. I had no troubles getting it to work with the Netgear drivers, but am now using the Intersil Prism drivers. It worked on my then buggy Axim X5 400 with broken PPC 2003 ;) and now works even better with my patched PPC 2003. Sorry to hear you are having troubles with it,
I initially bought a Belkin, and that had the same effect as inserting cardboard into the slot ;)

I dint do anything special apart from following the install instructions to get it to work, so its interesting that people are having trouble getting it to work. I would suggest using the Intersil drivers, do a search on the Wireless thread about it.

boz so the netgear did work for ppc2k3 and these prism drivers what device are they for ?

boz · 07-31-03, 08:08 PM

komes,

netgear did work and the Intersil prism drivers are generic drivers that work with a whole bunch of cards, of which the Netgear MA701 is one. The drivers are no longer available from the Intersil site but can be found if you do a search through the Wireless forums, im sorry i cant remember the link but could email you the drivers if you want, there about 6MB.

boz, do all of the Intersil functions work, such as the signal meter and the configuration stuff? If so, then that's what I'm already using with PPC2002. That would be sweet if it worked with Mobile 2003!

If the Intersil drivers work with the Netgear card, then they'll probably work with any PRISM chipset card, since they're kind of the default drivers.
