How to give the Tungsten E Wi-Fi


Although Sandisk, for power consumption reasons, does not list the E as compatible with any of their Wi-Fi cards, they themselves acknowledge it works. To get this working, you must have the palm (not pocketPC) version of their sdio card, and the Zire 72 drivers. Simply copying those drivers to your E allows it to work. 2 notes however:

1.) It only works for 15 or 20 minutes off batteries…. it’s reccomended you plug it in.

2.) This draws more power the the sdio slot in the Tungsten E is rated for, and as such, it voids your warrenty. Sandisk has said its never had a problem, but without palm’s safety net, it becomes “Use at your own risk”.

    i could not start the Zire 72 drivers in to my Tungsten E with Pretec SD WiFi (?) though the palm recognized the card. does it only support the sandisk cards?
