Ok first, I just got a Dell Axim like 3 days ago. Whats the deal with windows 2003 and this mysterious "dell bug" that everyone in this forum has been so vague about? How do I check if mine is effected? I tried a search here but there is just too many results and not enough accuracy to bother.

Also I got a linksys WCF12 wireless card for it. It is detected as an "unrecognized card" even after the driver install. My guess is linksys doesn't support what ever BS variations in handheld hardware that dell is using, or unsupported OS. but has anyone had any luck with the WCF12?

Linksys is 2 for 2 with crap products that don't work like they should. windows ce 3.0 and higher means, windows ce 3.0 and higher. not windows ce 3.0 and higher except windows PPC 2003. The linksys access point I bought didn't have the web management files on it (the linksys reported a 404 error when connected directly via crossover).

I hope to not have to add dell to the list of crap hardware suppliers right beside linksys so any detail information would be great.

Answers :

Your axim will not have the WM2003 bug if you got it three days ago

Your WCF12 does not have WM2003 drivers, the drivers included will NOT work.

However you can use the senao driver to get your WCF12 working
