Hi Duncan,

I'm not being funny, but my 2210 works absolutely perfectly with a Sandisk
CF Wifi Card. Have you tried checking the website of the card manufacturer
to see if there are more recent drivers?

Are you on 1.10 version of ROM?

There is an idiot's guide at
http://h200001.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00157709/c00157709.pdf
although it's not specifically for the 2210.

Hopefully someone will be along in a minute with a better link...

Good luck

Martin
