Inegrating WiFi SDIO card inside Magician?

[Anonymous]

Did anyone experiment with integrating a wi-fi SDIO card INSIDE the Magician? I am curious to know if there is enough space inside the case to solder in the internals of the Sandisk WiFi card.

Would also be interesting to know if it is possible to integrate the Sandisk 256 meg wifi card but leave out the Mem and wire it back to the SDIO pins so that the card slot could still be used to plug in a 1g-2g card and still enjoy built-in wifi...

Thought I ask it here, perhaps someone heard something. In case I put a bug in anyone's ear, a reminder that experimenting with something like this will void the warranty... so at your own risk :) But if you decided to do it, let me know ;)

I think that's impossible because there is almost no space inside the magician. Moreover, such modification will mostly disable the fuction of the SDIO slot when you enable the sdio wifi card, I blieve it is pointless to do so.

Why don't buy a blue angel or wait for the next generation of magician if you really need wifi but do not want to use an external wifi sd card.

Dear Joachim

Unfortunately, due to lack of Custom Bus Driver on your device (MOST HTC DEVICES), the unit will not support this card. We hope that your device manufacturer will soon come up with a fix on this issue.

We appologize for any inconviniences this may have caused you. We recommend that you use the SD WIFI CARD with no memory instead.

Kind Regards,

Sudhi K.

Apparently this user has been able to get it to work. Our position is the same. The unit is not supported.

Sandisk says NO

And I say YES (I'm posting with it just right now !!!!!)

It work great (WifiFofum found 20 wifi access point near my home , and +/- 80 access point on the road to my office :) )

Buy it, you won't regret !!!

[Carlis]

Anything I need to do when I install it.. ?
Or just use the latest drivers from Sandisk ??

U can access the 256 mb onboard the WiFi card without any problem?

I feel the Qtek S100 realy need the extra mem on a SD card ..
Was soo sad when they told me it will not work...
Ur answer maked the day :D

Regards Joachim
