Hi, I just bought a 3835 . In my house I have a Linksys Wireless access point(BEFW11S4). I have a laptop and another PC connected and working fine. What will I need to buy in order to connect to my wireless network? I think I need a expansion pack. I would like to stick with Linksys. Any suggestions? thanks in advance.

I have an IPAQ 3765 wireless networked.
Base Station: SMC Wireless Barricade ( your's should work fine)
LanCard: Cisco Aironet 340 (easiest install ever, autoconfiged to my barricade with almost a one click install
you would need a PCMCIA sleeve of some sort, I have an IPAQ Single slot plus sleeve (which works great with my CF card with adaptor, Iomega CLiCK Drive, wireless card etc.,)
I think that should cover it.. there should be a compatibility matrix on wireless cards in this forum.. I did not buy my Aironet specifically for this application, but I already had 3 of these cards as well as a Cisco WAP (my standby, incase the barricade dies), which I use for my laptops.
:D yesterday I realized I can listen to Web radio broadcasts on my IPAQ with the wireless setup and the media player. A couple of local Adult Contemporary station that I listen to does streaming media on the web....(somewhat of an expensive pocket radio)

I have a small home/office linksys network and just picked up an iPAQ so I had to have the newest Linksys WCF12 wireless card (about $62 on line). The instalation was a snap and I am wired to the internet via the home wireless system. IS works just fine as does AOL AIM and AOL Mail. I am searching for a good file manager so i can access the drives on other home computers.

I'm using a program called NetRunner download from here (http://www.pcdemano.com/images/download/Comunicate/netrunner2.arm.CAB) quite successfully. I hear that there's a program called rescoe file explorer that does the same thing http://www.resco-net.com/explorer.asp
