CASIO DT-X10 and §%&$&)!? Netgear MA401

Hi all,

after I got a bunch brand new CASIO DT-X10M30E ( INTELPX255/ARMV4T/CE.NET 4.1) I tried to use them in our warehouse to simply transmit barcodes to our website.

I happily equipped them with some old NETGEAR MA401 PCMCIA from our stock.

Now the desaster:
I virtually tried any available drivers which are available from anywhere or your site.

To name a few, these were:

http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/h/0028.asp
PRISM400XXXX
WLAN400XXXX
were only XXXX=1824 installs. All other cabs are refused as "not appliceable to the OS".

After reboot always: "PRISMSTA.exe is not a valid CE application". Bonk!

Inserting the card the device asks for the driver name. I entered the corresponding dll (PRISM, WLAN, etc) name provided by each installation cab. Bonk!
The adapter LED blinks 1x and then off.

Funny enough, if I remove all drivers and enter the driver name of a native WINCE dll called netwlan.dll I get a solid LED on the card. The downside is there is no setup tool on the device and the card doesn't show up. However this action creates a registry entry in /COMM called /netwlan1 referred from /netwlan which has a bunch of settings in a key called /parms. The card itself shows up correctly in /DRIVERS with correct references to ndis and netwlan.

Used to PEEK and POKE I tried to set the parameters manually and .... failed miserably, as the entries do not match the required settings for SSID/WEP
encryption. Hours of digging the net didn't come up with useful information. I even mailed CASIO a request for their SDK - NO ANSWER!!!

NOW, I'm lost! It would be a pity if the devices remain useless, due to my ignorance :-)

sorry for kraut english :-)

regards
Juergen
