I just purchased a neww dell x50 and was wondering if there is a compatible compactflash LAN card out there that is not wireless for the new dells. It has windows mobile 2003 second edition.

I just bought a TrendNet CF ethernet card and it works great with my X50v! :approve:

thank you, I have ordered that one and hope it works out. :approve:

Yup. That's the same one that I've been checking into. Looks like it is the cheapest one around.

The lowest I've seen it advertised for is just over $40, but newegg.com has it "out of stock" for just over $30. I'm holding out. :D

How do you use ethernet on your 50v?

Purchase an ethernet CF card and connect to a wired network after installing the appropriate drivers. I first tested my card on my Linksys router, but also used it to connect in a hotel room with high speed internet access. I'd prefer to use wifi, but sometimes it just ain't available!

Yup. That's exactly what I'm thinking about--particularly when I'm travelling and the hotel room has ethernet, but not 802.11b. I'm looking forward to never carrying a laptop with me again. 6 lbs for a laptop vs. 6 ounces for an Axim! :D

Isn't a cheap 802.11b router cheaper?

If I was VirtualBox, I could load my virtualization module into Hannah and boot up another kernel in the same address space.

Possibly. Most of those are larger than a CF card, which makes them less desirable for toting around. I considered one of the portable wireless routers (e.g. ASUS), but decided to go with the CF.
