Aight, i just got a smc wifi card (smc2642w), I have a Axim X5 Adv. ppc 2003!!! Now i thought i heard people using this card with ppc 2003, even though they don't have drivers for ppc 2003!!!!! Is there anyway i can get this card to work?????

Also, there's a error message saying "Cardinitialize failed !!),

Which drivers have you tried?

Driver that came witht the install cd!!! I think its version 1.0.0

Do a google search for the Intersil reference drivers (ISL3PRDSUIT-EXE_WinCE300(2-0-9)). They are available on at least one website and work fine with the SMC card on WM03.

I seem i can't find the driver u told me to search, every link thats posted, is dead!!! Well i talked to smc, sent me a file prismnds.dll!!! It says to put into windows folder, i put it on my cf card and go into file explorer and it doesn't show up!!! They gave me a bete version driver!!! Does anybody have that zip file, right now i'm back to using the 1180 card!!! I have no clue on how to get this to work!!! I'm a total newbie!!!! So please forgive me, i'm just learning!

I have that exact same card, used the installation from SMC's site (shouldn't be any difference, the version number is the same) and was able to install the card on my Axim X5 and my boyfriend's Ipaq 2215, both running Windows Mobile 2003. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary like pulling a .dll file (had to do that for my old Jornada 680) and it worked on the first try. All I can suggest is as with any type of peripheral, install the software before sticking the hardware in the device.

I think some people have been able to run it with the original driver. But I'll bet that's not true of Axim x5 users :) In fact, there are a number of threads in this list that show you how to use prism drivers and other 3rd party drivers to try to get it running under wm2003. So, you may be fortunate to not need the beta patch. Cheers,
