I did some checking and the 2210 and 2215 both have an SDIO chipset that
slows down WiFi quite a bit (4 to 6 times compared to a compactflash wifi
card).

This is the main reason I went to the following configuration...

iPAQ 2215
Sandisk Extreme SD 512 Mb memory card
Sandisk Connect Plus low power WiFi card with 128 Mb memory

It's still slower than the same card plugged into a laptop (using the
adapter that came with the Sandisk card), but it's quite a bit faster than
about 4 different brands of SD wifi cards used in the same 2215 iPAQ.

| Hi, Tony.
| I use SD for memory (256MB, presently), CF iWavePort card, which works

also
