Does the IPA have wifi capabilities if configured correctly? I was able to install a a T-Mobile Sierra Wireless AirCard 750 with a lot of help from T-Mobile. Love my 3955 and wifi is the only function desired.

No, iPAQ 3955 does not have wifi function built-in, you just need to get wifi pcmcia or cf card that has driver for your iPAQ model. I'm assuming that you already have expansion sleeve. Some SD wifi cards may also work, depending on what ROM version you are running, an upgrade may be required.

Thanks for the quick response and I do have the expansion slot. I am trying to install a Westell wireless card with no success. Verizon supplied the card with my dsl line. I know the Ipaq is not recognizing the card because the power light doesn't respond. I need to find out if Westell supplies a driver for my Ipaq.

Westell wireless card does not work with the iPAQ (or any Pocketpc). It is 32 bits cardbus pcmcia type which does not work with any Pocketpc. You'll need regular 16 bits pcmcia wifi card.

I use the SANDISK Connect Plus Low Power WI-FI CF Card with 128 MB Memory (SCWCFB-128)

Works Great ! Hotspots and at home.
