Each time I turn on my iPaq3630, with the bluetooth CF jacket on and CF card installed, it doesnt recognise the CF card. I have to remove the CF card, cancel the message and then re-insert the card - it then recognises it.......until I turn the iPaq off again.
I raised this with Compaq/HP support and they tell me that that is how it works and thats the only workaround !! I also own a normal CF jacket and it doesnt require this messing around.

Has anyone else had these kind of problems with their Bluetooth CF jackets ?

I use a Netgear MA701 802.11b card in my ipaq with a dual CF jacket....if the IPAQ is ON and I insert the card, it does NOT recognize it....I found that If I disconnect the sleeve and reattach it, it works fine....I do that at least once a day....a quick 'cancel' and just enough of a disconnect on the sleeve to re-initialize it...

I use a socket low power wifi card and it recognises that just fine !
Compaq have come back to me and agreed that it shouldnt do that and the jacket could be faulty - so its back to the place I bought it from for a replacement.
