Q: Can I use the Wi-Fi Card by Palm with any
other devices? A: No. As of May 2004, this accessory is compatible
with Tungsten E2, Tungsten T3, Tungsten T5 and Zire
72 handhelds only. Future handhelds may be compatible
with this accessory; check www.Palm.com for

Q: Will the Wi-Fi Card work with my company's wireless
LAN? A: Your organisation may use a number of security
precautions for its WLAN. The Wi-Fi Card by Palm
includes a PPTP VPN client for secure access to corporate
networks, and it supports WEP encryption with 64 or

Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band and supports

points using these channels and be unable to make a
wireless connection. Contact the IT administrator of
the organisation where you plan to use the Wi-Fi Card
for more information.
