Introduction

The following Ethernet PC Cards are compatible with Windows CE and the Pocket PC. The drivers for Windows CE 2.0 are NOT compatible with 2.11 and 3.0 devices.  If you install the drivers, you must perform a backup and a complete reset to be able to install the right version.  Also, you can use a CompactFlash Ethernet card with a PC Card adapter in a PC Card slot.

Quickly Find Ethernet PC Cards at Amazon.com!

NE 2000 compatible PC Cards are supported by the included Ethernet Driver. Not all NE 2000 cards will work so be careful.  Some appear to work but then stop sending or receiving packets after about a minute.   You can download the shareware SBM NE2000 driver - it only asks once for the driver name!
