No drivers for pocket pc 2003
There is no drivers for pocket pc 2003 so don't buy this card if you use such OS.
Driver for pocket PC 2003 has to be downloaded
I just purchased the Linksys CF card for my IPAQ. The Driver for Pocket Pc 2003 isnt on the install disk. You have to download it from a ftp site at linksys! Problem is that the BETA driver isnt there! They put there ad that it is for 2003 but it isnt! Good luck in getting the driver!

Our computer mysteriously died thus leaving us internetless. The WCF11 came to our rescue making our laptop an internet-accessible device therefore making us able to stay connected.
Great AXIM add on
I received this about a week before my Dell Axim... I couldn't wait to try it out. I installed the software - the Pocket PC sync'd up - slid in the card and I was off. I have a Linksys wireless access point in my apartment and it detected it immediately. Makes the whole idea of a pocket PC worthwhile - you can browse web pages (on a small screen), send & receive POP3 email (with attachments), Instant Message, etc. Can't wait to try it out on a public access point (like in bryant park). This will be another Linksys product that I recommend to my customers (and the Axim is pretty sweet too - not nearly as bulky as I thought it would be).
As some other reviewers mentioned - it does drain a battery.
Great wireless card, but eats batteries like an suv eats gas
I purchased this card with my Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D. I know that the Zaurus has the drivers already installed for this card so I plugged it in and it was up and running in no-time. I have a Netgear MR314 wireless router and it has no problems working with this card. The speed is great, although I never actually measured it, but many of the websites come up pretty fast. The only downfall to the card (and all other compact flash wireless NIC cards for that matter) is that the unit drains batteries too fast. It eats up a lot of juice and forces me to plug in the charger. The range on the unit is not as good as I hoped, but my router could also cause some problems. So far this is the only wireless CF card I tried, but I'm happy with it.
