Anyone know where I can get a mini sd wifi card for the treo 750?

Preferably in the USA as that is where I live.

Thanks

Go to Best Buy, Circuit City or other retail stores. You can also google for it.

I have the same card and I installed the latest driver (Treo750); however when screen switches off (i.e. Treo goes to "stand-by") and then switches on again, wifi connection icon stays there BUT it does not work any longer.

The only way to restablish a working connection is to pull-out and reinsert the card: is it the same for you?

Thank you.

I reviewed the miniSD version on Gear Diary and found similar problems. The latest driver off the Spectec site fixed my issues.

Does it mean that now, when your Treo is wifi connected, stays connected also when screen goes off then on again? (sorry for my English, hope you can understand my question).

Could you please post the direct link to the latest driver (just to check if I downloaded the right one...).

Thank you very much.

I'm not sure if you all have 3G access, but have you noticed that the wifi doesn't seem to be that much faster than 3G. I know there might be other factors involved, but this is what I have noticed.

I actually found the WiFi to be generally slower than UMTS. When Palm updates the 750v to HSDPA (the hack was unstable for me) it will run circles around WiFi.

And the driver I am using is here:

The hack was unstable for you, how so? The hack has worked fantastic for me for a few months now.

I also have to reset device to get card seen :/

Btw, I have big problem with vpn connection over wifi. Wifi connects without problems and I get vpn connecting too. But everytime I'm doing anything that needs resolving addresses, vpn disconnects I can only use programs that are using direct ip, not symbolic name...

Treo750 on wi-fi

A little late but now got the answer that sure worked for me.

First, buy the SDW-822 (ordered from Amazon).
Second, download and install only from the Spectec site the WM5 driver.
Third, use the .cab files and instructions found here:
http://www.gadgetech.info/treo/hacks/disableproxy/
Fourth, enjoy WI-FI.

It works great for me at the time. I hope that making the registry change back and forth is not a big deal? The cab files above do the job for you and I just keep them in my 'my documents' folder for ready use depending on if I am on Media Net or WI-FI.
