I have just bought an SDIO 802.11g wireless LAN card for my HP2190 PDA. I don't have a home network but I want to use it on my travels. I tried to test it a a friends house but I have encountered a few problems.
- When I insert the card the PDA quite often locks up and the only way I can regain control is to remove the card. Sometimes even this doesn't work and I have to reset the PDA.
- When it doesn't freeze initially, I can connect to the network but as I load a page from the web the whole thing slows up(ocasionally a message saying a script is causing the device to run slowly do I want to continue or abort is displayed but not always) and in some cases freezes. I have not yet managed to get as far as logging on the my email account at tiscali, which is the main reason I bought the card.
My PDA is running Windows mobile 5 software and has never been updated are there any patches I need or should I have bought an 802.11b card?
I do have occasional problems with my PDA freezing without the card fitted, could this be the cause of all my problems? Any advice or ideas would be appriciated as I'm out of my depth.
Steve.
