Could somebody tell me which PCMIA card they use for wifime and (if you can) how much it cost?
Edit: If not can you point me to a guide which tells you how to set one up for WifiMe?
thankyou.

A list of cards that will work can be found here.
http://ralink.rapla.net/
Note that only PCI and PCMIA cards from the list can be used!
A tutorial is here:

Thanks but I had already seen that. I am an extreme NOOB. That tutorial only tells you how to install a LinkSys WMP54G v4 PCI wireless network card and not a PCMCIA card. Is it roughly the same?

All 32-bit PCMCIA cards use the CardBus protocol. But in fact CardBus is just PCI in a smaller form factor, in the same way that CompactFlash is just ATA in a smaller form factor. I can't guarantee so, but my educated guess is that the steps should be about the same.

The steps are the same, since installing a driver for a PCI card or PCMCIA card are practically the same. Manufacturers usually supply an install cd-rom that will automatically install the driver (often along with monitor software and the like).
In the case of wifime, the driver by Firefly is a basic driver and nothing else. You simply point windows to the directory containing the extracted files when Windows detects the new hardware. In the case of an upgrade (going from version 1.0.0.7 to 1.0.0.8 for example) you need to go into Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager. Find the driver under "Network adapters", under the Driver tab, select Update Driver...

In the tutorial it says flash your GBA cart the way you normally do...
What do you normally do?

so you don't have to prime it or get it ready at all?
Edit: headspin I gave you a PM.

Does the WCP54GS work?Ive heard many yes's and no's.It has PCMCIA and CardBus.But its on that list,but im not sure.Ive been trying to find out for many weeks now.
#51269 - nintyjim - Wed Aug 17, 2005 8:48 pm
Yes the latest WMB lets you use WCP54GS. Im 90% sure anyway, you may want to get a second opinion before buying.

I'm having some issues trying to install the driver for the Belkin F5D7010 PCMCIA wireless card. I managed to get the driver working on another computer with a Belkin F5D7000 PCI card without any problem. However after plugging in the PCMCIA card and selecting the driver, I get an error saying Windows could not find suitable software to install the driver.
No previous driver for the card was installed, though in the process of trying to get it to work, I did install the manufacturer's driver, and the wireless card worked.

Some revisions of Belkin F5D7010 have a broadcom chipset. You need a card with rt2560 chipset. You have to be careful when buying a card from that list with a * next to it.
* - chipset depends on card revision/version (could be Accton, ADMtek, Agere, Atheros, Atmel, Broadcom, Conexant/GlobespanVirata/Intersil/Harris/PRISM, Envara, Inprocomm, Intel, Marvell, Realtek, SiS, Texas Instruments, VIA, ZyDAS or some other voodoo).

I'm using a sitecom wl-115 PCI card bought from play.com for ?18 (I think they will ship to the US) and am had no problems setting up the new drivers or uploading the program using the download play feature of the DS. Altogether i'm prity pleased.
