Do not use with HP Jornada
I cannot recommend this ethernet card for use in an HP Jornada 548 PocketPC. The HP does not have an eject button for flash cards, so this particular card is nearly impossible to remove.

What's more, I never successfully had the card work on my home network. It never came up with an IP address from my DHCP server, and it did not work even when I manually entered an IP address. Other PCs work fine, but I'll never know if the problem was my net or the card since Socket's tech support never responded to my inquiries.

Bottom line: I returned this card for a refund.
