Anyone know of any freely available 802.11b card that can be used in the iPronto. Before I go to the time and trouble (and wait) of sending my iPronto in for repair I'd love to try another card as I reckon it may be the card that is faulty.

Is the Philips card a Belkin clone? Or any other card I can buy in my local PC World or similar?

Thanks. I'm afraid I have no confidence in Philips fixing this :(

I asked same question a couple of months ago... no results.

I am personally not convinced the network card is to blame, it would be interesting to find a windows driver for the card to prove it in a laptop... again I had a look around the net without success.

If you bought from a UK dealer you shold be able to swap the unit for a new one (no waiting for repair), thats the deal Philips have with their dealers.

Nice to know about the swap, thanks. I spoke with my dealer (Musical Images) yesterday and they wanted me to take it in for them to have a look at it. Even thought I now seemed to have found a fix it's not ideal as means I cannot use 802.11g devices so may get them to swap it anyway next time I'm up in London.

Cheers.

Hmmm ... I've been using 802.11g in my laptop at home for a while and my laptop hasn't been running at 11b speeds even though the iPronto is using the same Access Point.

Unfortunately a few neighbours have bought 802.11b/g APs over the last month and so my once reasonably quick WiFi is now crawling (802.11a here I come) but I was definitely getting a good 17Mbit/sec *ACTUAL* throughput on the laptop with the iPronto running on the same Access Point too.
