Tom's Hardware Reviews the Linksys WCF54G
Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 AM
"Linksys' WCF54G Wireless-G Compact Flash Card is the first 802.11g card in Compact Flash format. Since PocketPCs are hardly the fastest computing devices around, you might ask 'why bother?'. The answer is that 11g for PocketPC's isn't so much a matter of faster network access for the handheld devices themselves, but more a matter of not slowing things down for speedier WLAN users, due to the 11b protection mechanism built into 802.11g."
Interestingly, Tom's finds that you do get a speed boost with an iPAQ 2215. Obviously, the speed of a Pocket PC and the CF interface are going to be limitations, but if you've got a g network that you're trying to optimize, this product may be right for you.
