This one should be a clone of a SanDisk Connect wifi card, (or vice-versa), so
should work without problems.

The main failures I had with familiar 0.8.4 on my simpad was due to the very
old wpa_supplicant included in the distro. While the one in openzaurus (on a
zaurus sl-c1000) works very well, this one is unable to connect to my linksys
running dd-wrt.
Also, one of my wifi cf cards, a SanDisk Connect Plus (with 128Mb unusable
flash, and a prism 3 chipset) wouldn't work because familiar doesn't include
the non-free firmware or the scripts to load it automatically.
