This is definitely something for HW to work with, I just haven't gotten around to calling them about it. My bad!
Anyway, I keep thinking the Ambicom card is the way to go, they're easy to get and they work fine for quite some time, but so far all but the one I am using now have died. I'm thinking about trying to install drivers for another card, but haven't done a whole lot of research in that area yet. I've been too busy playing with my new talking phone and getting it to connect to the BN via Bluetooth. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Aldrich Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 11:20 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Sandisk Wifi Cards Sarah, I have found this thread to be an interesting one. If there are problems with both cards and the Sandisk may no longer be on the market, what is one going to find for an appropriate card for the M-power in the future? I hope something is done so all can enjoy the consistent connectivity I've been getting with my SanDisk card. I'd say keep writing about this, perhaps another card will be available soon.
