Cisco Aironet 350

Hi
We have been using the Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA card, this is now obsolete.
I am now looking for replacements and was wondering if anyone had sourced a
replacement. We using wince 4.2, WPA support is a must. Cisco wince 4.2
drivers were accompanied with a rather useful aironet client Aironet control
panel applet that provided good control for configuring the card, do any of
the replace cards provide such utilities.

Funny guys at Cisco. The card is EOL and they've replaced it with a
32-bit cardbus card, which is useless to most of us. We have opted for
an on-board w-lan solution on our new design.

There are alternatives, some in CF size (you could use a PCMCIA-CF
adapter). I remember Socket Communications had one but there are more.
Some of them must have WPA support. But nothing will be compatible with
the Cisco card of course.

Regards,
Piet

Thank you for the reply, our new products will have onboard w-lan solution,
for the current design I will look at cf alternatives.

you should look at ARTEME solutions which provides WLAN chipsets with CF
interface in 2 mechanical form factors (CF mechanical form factor for tests,
and versions to solder for final design)

Thank you for the lead, they look quite promising, just viewing their
website (http://www.artem.de/) at the moment, I had never heard of them
until you now.

The Demarc Technologies card is based on the Prism2 chipset. There's a
driver in CE 4.2 for that chipset that works with the card. I haven't tried
WPA, but it supports PEAP, which the Cisco driver from MS never did, so it
seems to work with most security configurations. Any Prism2 chip-based card
should work, buit there aren't a lot of them around any more.

Cisco is a bunch of idiots. They corner the 802.11b market for PC Cards,
the obsolete the card. Crazy...
