Hi, I'm new to the forum and in desperate need of help.
I have a Dell Axim X5 running Pocekt pc 2002.
I purchased a SparkLan WCFM-100 Wireless 802.11g CF Card.
Information about my Dell is below:
Microsoft Pocket PC
Version 3.0.11171 ( Build 11178)
Processor: Intel PXA255

I follwed the instructons for installation and when placing cf card in slot I
receive the following message:
Unrecognized Card
Enter the name of the device driver for this card. For information,
see the card manufacturer's documentation.
There are 2 led lights on the card but neither lights up when in the axim.

Also when I go to my system/settings/connections the installation
instructions show a WI-FI icon, my screen shows a network adapter icon.

I went to Perfect Prism and tried to use the driver from thier site.
When I copied the cab file over it the name looked like a web site address.

I also tried just using a cf card and the device does recognize the card.

I'm not computer savy but I follow instructions well, any help would be
appreciated. Thank you.

I'm doubtful this card will work with the X5 and PPC02. According to the Sparklan website:
OS support: Windows CE4.2/5.0

WinCE 4.2 = WM03/WM03SE and WinCE 5.0 = WM5.

It's possible to upgrade the X5 to WM03 but it may be difficult to find the upgrade by now.

WM5 is it the same as WinCE 5.0 ?

Yes, it is, "sort of" (I was mistaken above in saying "WinCE 5.0 = WM03SE" and have now corrected it). From what I can find, both WM03 and WM03SE are based on WinCE 4.2. WM5 is built on the WinCE 5.0 platform so software written for WinCE 5 should work on WM5.
