DS Flash Equipment > Edimax EW-7128G compatible with WifiMe?

#77940 - sofakng - Tue Apr 04, 2006 3:39 am

I've just order this card (EDIMAX EW-7128G) from NewEgg and I'd just like to make sure it's compatible with WiFiMe.

I've done lots of searching on several forums and it seems like this card uses the 2561 (??) chipset but apparantly it still works (??).

Please tell me ASAP if this card isn't compatible so I can cancel my order :)

Thanks!

I had a 2561 and it didn't work, but others have said their's did, but i'm guessing i probably got a different revision of that card, which changed to a 2561 with the revision change.

I'd say make sure that if you open it, you can return it. It it doesn't work, return it and order a passme from dspassme.com. The PassMe cost less than half of this wifi card, and you can be pretty sure that it's a lot easier to use. (dspassme.com is a great site, I got my passme really quick from them and it worked great)

Rest assured, it'll work. I bought that exact same model from Newegg last december and I actively use it for NDS development. Good luck!

Well, I ended up getting a little nervous so I canceled the EdiMax card and ordered a PassMe. Hopefully it will today or tomorrow...

Thanks for the information though!
