I don't know what the problem is with your card but I use my home network
wirelessly just fine.

I hope your theory is correct. I would love to use my WIFI card with my bn
on my home network. I was very disappointed when I realized that this is not
possible right now.

>> Dear list,
>> I'm here to present another hypothesis/theory. This time, it concerns
>> 3rd party hardware with BrailleNote mPowers:
>> Earlier, Dean Jackson clarified that you can in fact install 3rd party
>> device drivers on your BrailleNote. This is due to the two reasons:
>> one, because BraillenOte runs under Windows CE 4.2, 3rd party hardware
>> that is designed for Windows CE 4.2 devices (Windows Mobile 2003
>> devices included) should work on BrailleNote; second, because it has
>> ARM processor, any device driver that is compatible with ARM
>> processors (X-Scale, Strong ARM, etc) should work. So here is my
>> hypothesis: because BrailleNote runs under mainstream operating system
>> for embedded devices (except that it has KeySoft and although it
>> cannot run 3rd party software at this time) and because it has
>> mainstream processor built-in, users, with help from manufacturers,
>> can instal 3rd party device drivers (not be confused with software).
>> But, like other theories, there are challenges to this theory: One,
>> that some people uses Classic, and there are hardly any companies who
>> manufactures any Windows CE compatible hardware designed for MIPS
>> processor, this will not work on Classic (and the fact that Classic
>> will no longer receive updates after 8.0); Second, some people still
>> use KeySoft 5.1 or earlier, meaning they cannot take advantage of new
>> features that were introduced in Windows CE 4.2 through KeySoft 6.0
>> and above (these units still run Windows CE 2.12); Thirdly, many on
>> the list uses PK, which is also based on ARM processor. In case of
>> this, this theory should apply as well; fourthly, the driver that is
>> installed should not require end-user intervention from the BN's end
>> (meaning that the driver should install the driver package, not the
>> accompanying software because BN, at this time, cannot run 3rd party
>> software). If my theory is correct, than we don't need to worry about
>> supported WiFi cards, since anybody can obtain a WiFi card that is
>> compatible with Windows Mobile 2003 (on top of Windows CE 4.2) and
>> install the device drivers (if it cannot recognize it at the first
>> time) using ActiveSync. If it is false, that's fine (give us
>> explanation why it is false). Any input is appreciated. Thanks for your
> considerations.
