Does any one know of a PDA or card that can be used in a PDA that
supports 802.11A?

What type of PDA? (does it support CF or SD cards?) I have one that only did
B, but had an SD slot.. Got an SDIO card that supports A/B/G

Haven't bought the PDA's yet. Just looking for options. Who make a CF
or SFIO 802.11A card?

The PDA is an HP iPAQ 4551 (that does B only, along with bluetooth, but real
handy when traveling, since many hotspots/businesses/hotels etc are B, or at
home- I have a B/G and Bluetooth). The A (actually an a/b/g card) is from
Sandisk. (only used a twice, I do onsite computer repair and the client had
an a) ((And it's SDIO, not SFIO))

My suggestion, would be to rethink a altogether, It only runs at 5Ghz, has a
shorter wavelength, more susceptible to signal attenuation, and only has a
range of about 60 feet. The newer G can do the same speed (54), but have a
range of about 300 feet. With i and j coming down the pike, they will also
be backward compatible to b, but not a... Actually, the newer AP's now, do
all 3 a/b/g, and many pci and cardbus/pcmcia cards do all 3 also... Seems
sort of silly to set up a network that is/will be soon obsolete.

The best solution is to look at the spec for the PDAs you're interested in,
and see whether they support wireless. Also check for accessories that are
available from either the manufacturer or a 3rd party.

For instance my Palm has an SD slot but even so it doesn't support wireless
(too old). Some tungstens and newer palms can use the card.
