Not A Bad Product, But Has Some Flaws
I received this memory/wifi card as a wedding gift last year so that I could use it with my Compaq iPAQ 3765. It installed properly on the iPAQ as well as my Toshiba laptop. I have never had a problem connecting to my Linksys WRT54G 802.11g/b router. The installation process itself was pretty straightforward and simple.

Now, I did have a problem installing it onto my new HP iPAQ 2215, which I purchased a week ago. The PocketPC 2002 driver included with the card will not work with Windows Mobile 2003 for PocketPC. SanDisk does have the 2003 drivers on their website, but as someone mentioned, there is no user guide to aid you with the new driver. After trying several times to install the card, I had to perform a hard reset and installed the card before installing anything else and setting up my activesync partnership.

The other thing I do not like about this card as someone mentioned, is that with Windows Mobile 2003, you cannot turn off the wi-fi part of the card and just access the flash memory. This will drain more battery power from my iPAQ than I would like. Hopefully, SanDisk will resolve this issue.

Other than that,this wi-fi card has been working great for me. I actually just used it in New York City and was able to locate several access points at Chelsea Piers on the West Side and access the internet. Overall, a good product in my opinion with a couple of flaws.

Doesn't work with older Windows Pocket PC and Windows CE
Well, even though the card without the 128 meg of memory supports the older pocket PC versions (pre-2002), this card doesn't. I have an older HP Jornada 548, and thought I'd get a deal, since the additonal memory is basically "free". Would not install with the supplied drivers, not the driver downloaded from the SanDisk website. Also, wouldn't work with the drivers from the card w/o the memory. Had to return to Amazon.com, and order the LinkSys card...

Not useful for PPC 2003
This product is crap. In PPC 2003 there is no utility to turn off the WIFI part of the card so it doesn't just sit there and drain your battery while you are using the memory portion. All the documentation included was for 2002, although there is a driver for 2003 on their website. Still doesn't include control utilites. When I called Sandisk they just said it isn't available for PPC 2003 and it was a feature in PPC 2002. They aren't interested in writing a utility themselves. So it will be useless soon as people upgrade to 2003 or buy a new pocket pc.

Sharp Zaurus-SL-5600
Stay away from the SanDisik Connect Plus Wi-Fi adapter. This product was supposed to work flawlessly with the Sharp Zaurus SL-5600, just plug it in they said. Well let me tell you that just isn't the case. Neither the Wi-Fi nor the 128MB of memory show up in the Zaurus System. After performing a cardctl ident it will come up as SanDisk Connect Plus. But, nothing more will work. --Lets hope Sharp or SanDisk will fix the problem (because neither will refund me my money.)
