New to Axim, how to install WiFi card

I've got an Axim X5 and a Dell TrueMobile 1180 CF card, but have no documentation on it. I was able to find the driver off Dells site but how do I get the drivers over to the Axim? When I insert the card it gives me info saying it is unrecognized.

Any help would be great, and I did search the site with no real help so far.

Most drivers are installed by running an executable program on your PC while it is connected via ActiveSync to the PPC. The alternative is if the driver is a *.cab file. In this case, just copy the file onto the Axim and double click on it in a file explorer to install.

Ah after further searching the driver that was given to me was wrong. With the correct driver it seems to working properly so far!

Is there an area to specify PPTP in the VPN settings for this model of Axim?

Here are the instructions I'm trying to follow but they don't match what I see on my X5

Sorry, I didn't notice your last post. I'm afraid I've never used VPN myself, but I did add some details to the WiFi Guide that other Aximsite users provided. Look here.
