Hello I have an older Ipaq 3635. I recently discovered that I could get wifi for it, and that I could get packaged space with that card, so I went ahead and bought it. A few days later my SanDisk Connect plus (802.11b card + 128MB) came in the mail for a little over 25 dollars. I installed the software, plugged the card into my expansion sleeve (which uses CF). I then setup my WEP key and everything was running smoothly. I could get on google or any other site, very awesome. Two days later, after leaving my PocketPC on the cradle all day I turned it on, so I could setup my mail accounts. However there was a little red exclamation mark letting me know something was work. Now this is the exact place where I set it up the first day. I then got on my laptop and I found that my WiFi was up. So I tried to uninstall the software and after a bit of hassle I had it reinstalled. However, the card was still not working. I tried soft, and hard reseting my PocketPC and still the Wifi part of the card is not working. I can still move things to the storage part of the card though. So I email SanDisk and they said that they do not support the card if used through an expansion sleeve. Any ideas of what I can do to get it working again?

I'm assuming you did a hard-reset then reinstall the driver and the card is still not working. Does the card even start up at all (ie, light blinking)? This type of combo card has lots of problem with ppc (you can do a search here), most of the time people cannot get both wifi and storage to work at the same time. Have you ever gotten the wifi to work and be able to store stuffs on the storage parts? After hard reset and reinstall driver, try moving or deleting the contents of the storage part using desktop reader. You want to try to re-create the condition where you first installed this card.
