Earlier today I received a Spectec SDW820 SDIO WiFi card. All installed and after a little grief, its working. (helps when you switch Radio on).

I usually Sync over bluetooth, but was wondering if WiFi was an option. Has anyone succeeded??

Yes works very well.

Make sure that a profile in Active sync exists on your PC, which it should if you are using bluetooth presently.

If you use your wireless connection to access the internet, say through a wireless access point, your wireless card will be set to 'The internet' under 'Network Cards' found under 'settings' and 'connections'. Now change this to 'Work' instead.
Then under activeSync on the magician select tools then options.
Make sure that your pc that you will be syncing with is listed under 'use this PC:'
Then simply hit the 'sync' icon on the activesync front screen on the magician, and activesync on your PC will automatically start and sync your magician!

If i remember correctly the only problem that I encountered was with my network. I had to set up a wireless network via my wireless router using my xp laptop that had activesync that I wanted to use. I just used the xp wireless wizard for this.

I never activesync using the cable or bluetooth now. :D
