Definitely a life saver... I bought my zaurus 5500 second hand, and there was no way I could achieve a syncing with my windows 2000 server machine ...

I had 2.38 SHARP ROM at that time ... it is time to introduce the life saver: my TRENDNET 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter allowed me to (without any further configuration other than the usual network "DHCP" config, get connected into my LAN and into Internet...

On accomplishing this, I managed to FTP into my desktop and download some zaurus software.

I tried this Compact Flash ethernet adapter with tkcROM, SHARP 3.10, Openzaurus 3.2, and good old 2.38 ... it works flawlessly.

A definitely PLUS is that the ethernet connector is embedded into the case, hence no cable with adapter to loose ... perfect!

Did I mention that it has the right price ? (one of the lowest priced I could find)...

Now for the bad stuff:

IT is big, bulky, and it has 6 leds (which I assume they drain power, not much anyway). Not that you could not live with this...

Higly recommended...

Doesn't work properly with cisco 4000,5000 and 6000 series switches. Only will work with static IP address.

I got a small CNET switch with me, and it works flawlessly ... what a weird thing that it doesnt work with cisco !! Could it be that those ciscos are NOT allowing trendnet's MAC address to enter into its routing table because of something ? Maybe it is full / needs resetting ? Anyone else experienced this ? Interesting !!
