Socket Releases New WLAN CF & SD Drivers!
Posted by Jon Westfall in "HARDWARE" @ 01:30 PM
"Socket recently released a new driver and utility for their W-LAN CF and SD cards which adds a couple of new handy features. While many/most Pocket PCs have W-LAN inbuilt today, a couple still exclude W-LAN - like the famous HTC Magician (aka i-mate JAM, O2 Xda II mini and T-Mobile compact)."
Arne at PPCW.net has posted an informative piece on Socket's new drivers. Unlike some manufacturers that simply provide a bare bones piece of software to get your WLAN card up and running, Socket's WLAN tools sports a nice GUI that allows you to not only connect to a particular network, but also to find other networks. Socket also provides a nice interface to PING and Traceroute directly from their software, making it a nice troubleshooting tool!
