If you want WiFi connectivity with your 650, you have to use the Enfora sled.
Unfortunately there is no WiFi support for the 650 through the SD slot.

But Thats my knowlage

Unfortunately there is no WiFi support for the 650 through the SD slot. If jhowle ever acquires a 700w/wx, he'll be excited to learn that the 700w and 700wx do in fact support SDIO. It's the PalmOS support that's lacking.

But that's my gnawlij.

There was never an official way to get sd slot wifi on the 650, but a guy named Shadowmite actually was able to modify ("hack") some drivers to get it to work.

A lot of people were actually using their palm sd wifi cards with their treo 650s, until firmware was upgraded, and the altered wifi drivers no longer were supported.

I know the drivers were never updated to work for the new versions of firmware. I guess that's what happens when it's hacked instead of supported directly.

I didn't know the 700p was supported by the SDIO Format WIFI CARD?

I thought there wasn't any wifi cards supported by the 700p.

It isn't.

That's so cool, especially since Seidio doesn't make a WiFi card. If they snuck one to market without my knowing about it, would you be kind enough to post a photo of it? Perhaps a link to their product page, so we can all have a chance to get one? How about a photo of your Treo(s) using it?

Maybe you're mistaking an SDIO card for a WiFi sled. Oh wait, that's Enfora, not Seidio! Oh wait again! The Enfora sled doesn't support the 700w or the 700p (although some people have forced it to fit a 700p after removing the battery cover).

Treofrog: verify or retract.

Treofrog, your quote:

Yeah I have the sedeio wifi card for my 700w and my 700p they both work great

And taken from your link:

OS Support

• Pocket PC 2003/2003SE with SDIO slot and SDIO Now! software from BSQUARE, including devices from Asus, Dell, HP, i-mate, and others
• Windows CE 4.2 and 5.0
• For information about support for MontaVista Linux and Real-Time Operating
  Systems (RTOS), please contact Development Services.

I am sorry, but no where on that page is Palm OS, or 700 P mentioned. I am sure that Kabeyun doesn't need my help . . But you still need to clarify or retract. As much as we would all wish it to be true. Palm OS Treo doesn't do WiFi very well if at all . . . You saying that you have it running on a 700P is more likely than not, not true and only confuses the community on such issues. Please watch what you post and how you post it. One or two liners with subject matter barely on topic is starting to get old.
