Not one CF card???

04-11-2002

Is there not one CF card out there that works with stumbler?

04-11-2002

I just found the thread stating no CF cards, Symbol will be the first. Must have missed it in the search.

Marius has been working on it and has had minimal (which is better than none) success with the Symbol. The Symbol was chosen because it was a Type I form factor (so all CF users can use it) and the SDK was readily available.

I am trying to get the SDK for the Prism stuff but it doesn't look promising.

We are all waiting patiently for the day the new thread starts, "Symbol is now supported"...

if you're not in a hurry to buy a CF 802.11b card, I'd suggest you wait as there will be one coming out soon that has the chipset MiniStumbler is looking for.

More details to come...

Aw come on. ..

Care to share?

I was gonna go out and buy one tonight until I saw your post...

Can you at least give us a better time frame than "soon"?

Or tip us to the manufacturer to start looking out for?

Honest.... I won't tell anyone else.

Honestly, I don't know what the time frame is. All I can say is that there's going to be one (I assume in about a month or so from what I was told) and it will be based on the Hermes chipset. It *WILL* work with the current version of NetStumbler and MiniStumbler.

If you need one right away (or can't wait a month), get the Symbol card. It seems to be the best card out there right now. But if you can wait a month or two, I'd say wait.

As soon as I get some details, I'll post. Trust me...

I'm waiting.

I don't know if it's CF I or CF II so depending on your PDA, it may not be an option.

If you want further clarification, find me on the NetStumbler IRC channel. I'm usually there in the evenings (US time).

AB,

that is correct. Those are all the known CF cards out there right now.

I'm just saying, there will be a HERMES based card hitting the market soon.
