"Socket Communications, Inc., the Mobile Connection™ Company, today announced its WLAN Tools Mobile Edition software for its Low Power CompactFlash and SDIO Wireless LAN cards for Pocket PCs. The software provides a new easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) with advanced network monitoring capabilities for Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operating system as well as support for WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA-PSK (Pre-shared) security. WPA offers enterprise-class security – an industry standard instituted by the Wi-Fi Alliance – that combines strong encryption, message integrity checking (called “Michael”), and 802.1x authentication."
Unfortunately, they don't have the new drives and UI for their original CF WiFi card, which is, of course, the one I have. Maybe they are just late with that one. Drivers for the newer thin CF WiFi card and the SDIO WiFi card are available for download now.
