There is only one product that I've been able to find, that you can
actually purchase today, but things are looking up in the near future.
You can only add wireless lan support by adding a PCMCIA slot to your
Palm today. This can be done by buying an add-on serial PCMCIA adaptor
from
http://www.teleadapt.com and then adding your favorite PCMCIA wireless
lan card.
There will be a more Palm friendly adaptor shipping in Q12000 called a
Parachute, from http://www.unilinear.com. They have not tested yet with
wireless lan cards.
You might be able to find a CF card format lan card for a TRGPro at
http://www.trgpro.com. I have not stumbled across a CF format card yet.
This would be a very nice combination.
And there is sure to be one someday for a springboard slot on the Visor
http://www.handspring.com
But nothing else has surfaced that I've been able to find.
