CASSIOPEIA
PETER LONG (AKA SHORTY)
I own a Cassiopeia A-11A with 4 Mb of RAM running a Roamabout 11Mb
card on two AA batteries. The drivers also work with the WaveLan [1]
Bronze 2Mb card.
See article at
http://www.wireless.org.au/stories.php?story=02/05/07/6912827
for more details.
THE SETUP IS...
Toshiba 440CDT laptop with ADSL access and Roamabout 11Mb card. Using
the registry hack it is now assigned as an AccessPoint [2]. Also
running on this machine is ActiveSync [3] - used to syncronise the
Cassiopeia with the PC and WinProxy [4] to allow wireless access to
the internet. My original WebGear [5] 2Mb FHSS [6] cards came with a 2
user version of WinProxy [7]. Some hints for setting up Wireless
Networking on a Pocket PC can be seen at
http://www.cewindows.net/wce/wirelesslan.htm .
Drivers for Windows CE 2.0 are located at
http://www.orinocowireless.com/template.html?section=m52&envelope=90&page=2757
Don't forget to install the network drivers on the Cassiopeia. They
are located on the WinCE [8] CD under Optional stuff.
By increasing the font in Explorer you can actually read most web
sites. Of course some of the more modern flashy sites don't work.
Also have now figured out why the handheld could not connect to the
local network. Seems that the other machines didn't like the name
hand_held. Take out the _ and it works nicely on the network. Now
happily downloading via wireless to handheld device.

IPAQ H3630
With PCMCIA Cradle..
I use an Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card with the drivers available from
their web site.
I have a pigtail which plugs into this with a Cantenna.
I've upgraded it to Pocket PC 2002 and run mini-stumbler and VXUtils
on it which provide Ping, Traceroute, Port Scanning etc..
