Comments on the Proxim RangeLAN-DS PCMCIA Prism2Card:

Originally we were hoping that this card was a rebranded Zcomax XI-300 (see ZcomaxXi300Comments). However MichaelCodanti reports that:

I just got my 20 Proxim RangeLan-DS 8434-05 cards...

The good news:

  • They are Zcomax XI-300's and have a snap off antenna with two Reverse MMCX connectors

Now for the bad news:

  • The sticker says they have firmware 0.7.6, where the new Zcomax ones have 0.8.3.

Now for the REALLY bad news:

  • These are 3.3 volt cards, not 5 volt. (They are like the D-Link cards) But even worse, the cards are keyed correctly (unlike the D-Link ones) so they won't even go into the slot on my Toshiba 430CDT or a Stylistic 1000. :-( (This could be good news for some embedded boxes(if they support 3.3 volt) as I think the 3.3 volt cards draw less power)

I, also, got 2 Proxim RangeLan-DS 8433-05 cards. They are almost the same as the above 8434-05 cards but the have an integrated antenna with a single connector of unknown type (maybe SSMB). They still come with old firmware and are 3.3 volt.
