Re: Wifi key ?

None that I know of use the same chipset as the USR device, no. If you
limit our ability to suggest anything then you are stuck with picking a USB
stick that you like and hiring someone to write a driver for it. You've
categorically eliminated every other possibility; we can't work magic; you
have to engineer a solution that will work for you....

Thanks Paul.

Excuse me, but i always need help. It's quite hard for me to explain the
problem in english !
I don't want to offend you!
I already tried to use google to find an other solution but i found
nothing for the moment.
We can't redesign our hardware so...i can forget any hardware
modification.

What i wanted to say was:

In fact we can't redesign our hardware and we already give the possibility
to get an USB key for our customer ! So at the moment i can't use an other
solution than USB stick. So i'm asking for help if someone (you or other
persons) is in the same case and has find a solution. The only way i can
use is to find an other stick with windows CE driver.
By the way we don't have Sdio slot on our hardware.

Thanks Paul.

Waiting for news...I'm searching on Google but i get very poor
information.

Manufacturer don't spend their time to develop a wince driver.

Thanks.

PS: Opening the USR805421, i saw a chipset Broadcom BCM4320. Maybe other
USB key use the same chipset ?

Hey, you DEFINITELY don't want to wait for me to help you with this
(remember, no one here works for Microsoft and, frankly, even if we did,
finding a USB/WiFi adapter for you wouldn't be our job). This one is
your responsibility. If it were me, Google "802.11 usb driver "windows
ce"" and see if you can find anything that will work for you. If not,
forget USB and look for another method of connecting the WiFi to your
hardware, SDIO might be possible, although the only SDIO adapter that I
was aware of went away, too. At that point, you could hire someone to
write a driver for a USB stick that you like, redesign your hardware with
an interface for which you can get a card that has a CE driver (Summit
Data Communications has an OEM module that you could wire directly to
your device bus), or, as you said, use an external Ethernet-to-wireless
adapter.

Ok thanks Paul.
I'm not very satisfied because i already have an ethernet adapter on my
product.
With your solution, is it possible to add an ethernet - Wifi adapter ?
But it comes very hard to install !

But the Wifi key USR was ideal for viewing Wifi network.
Excuse me if my english is bad!

Waiting for news if you get some information... about an other wifi key
or alternative solution.

I should have noted that this is wired LAN, not WiFi, of course. There
just aren't many USB-based WiFi products out there with CE drivers. The
effort to support CE is substantial and the sales potential is pretty
small, compared to XP/Vista. We need someone, as Summit Data
Communications has done with Compact Flash/PCMCIA, to come out with an
embedded-targeted USB WiFi device and really support it.

Here's a message from another thread in .app.development. It gives an
alternative USB stick with Windows CE drivers.

Hi,

You can purchase a USB-to-LAN adapter with WinCE driver support to get
an
Ethernet connection with your PC. The following are some available
ASIX's
USB-to-LAN solutions in the market for your reference. You can
download the
latest ASIX's USB-to-LAN WinCE 5.0/6.0 drivers from ASIX's web site
(http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=ProductList&PLine=71)
directly.

All ASIX's USB-to-LAN drivers were qualified on ASIX's USB-to-LAN demo
boards with ASIX's default VID/PID. If these drivers couldn't work
with your
USB-to-LAN adapter, you might need to contact the manufacturer's
support guys
to get the correct driver. Hope this information is helpful for you to
solve
your issue soon.

I haven't heard of any. The newer device from USR doesn't work.

Hello,

Have you heard about a Wifi key (a wifi stick) which is working
on windows CE.

I use the US Robotics USR5421 but we can't find this key
anymore! This key use the rndis driver.

Thanks for your help.

Fred_d








I am not shure, but FUNKWERK in Germany provide an CE-working
wifi-tick
