Vadem Clio C-1050 wireless connectivity problem

I'm running an old Vadem Clio C-1050 with Windows CE, Handheld PC
Professional Edition, Version 3.0. I've been trying to run a wireless
network with a Linksys wireless B router and a Linksys Instant Wireless PC
card. I've found ne drivers that old for the linksys and everything I've
tried have been ineffective. Anyone have any suggestions.

This old tablet PC is great as a news and e-book reader ... would like some
wireless function.

thanks

Hey, another Clio user! I love my Clio and was told that the Orinoco Gold
pc card is the only one that will work with a wireless network and Clio.
Haven't tried it yet but it was one of the things I was going to work on 'in
my spare time.'

I've also been trying to get my Clio C-1050 on my WiFi net. Using
Vadem's 3rd-party peripherals page
(http://www.pinaxgroup.com/products/t..._peripher.htm), I got
two of the WiFi cards that they mention: the BreezeNET 802.11 card, and
the Orinoco Gold 802.11b card. I haven't been able to get either to
work with my Linksys WRT54G (802.11b/g) router. The Clio recognizes
the card (I think), and about a minute after inserting either card, I
get a message that it could't obtain an IP address thru DHCP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also love my Clio, and
getting it working with WiFi would really be a fantastic bonus.

I have had success using an Ambicom WL 1100 CF wireless card. I originally owned a Clio 1000 back in 1999. I used it for 3 years. It died and the company went out of business. I switched to Ipaqs until I perked up when I saw a Clio on ebay. So I bought the one on ebay and followed the trail of forums while tracking down info on running it wireless. It took a while, but I found the Ambicom card and tracked down the driver. I was using Linksys at the time. I sold the Clio and this spring bought a 1050 from an ebay seller and decided to make it wireless, too. I tracked down another card and the driver and am now running wireless on a comcast netwook using Netgear.

The trick is finding a wireless card that the Clio will accept and getting a driver for the card which will operate on ce 2.11.

Your post is old and maybe you're not around anymore, but maybe someone else who needs this info will see it and be helped.

By the way, Ureader works well on Clio.
