I'm pretty sure the MobilePro 780 is only compatible with 16 bit PCMCIA cards. Andrew Gould Thread at a glance:

I have recently installed netBSD 3.0 on the MobilePro 780, and am having trouble configuring my wireless PCMCIA card. I am unable to use wiconfig or ifconfig. The card is a Proxim Orinoco Silver, and the card is recognized as "wi0", however, upon insertion, the last two lines output are: wi0: no supported rate list wi0: failed to attach controller What could this mean?

It does, but general rule of thumb says that unless the speed benefits are realized solely in hardware you will still be sidelined by the pipe. What I'm saying is that, without know the exact specs on the CF interface of the 880, I'd warrant a guess that it will provide a bottleneck and that higher speed CF cards will not necessarily benefit. Take a look at this article to get an idea of the technologies involved: http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/digital/compact_flash_memory_cards.html In short, depending on how fast the MP880's CF bus is, which likely isn't blazing, you'd be paying for nothing to get a faster card. Enjoy! Once you get it installed, please fill us in on X usage at 800x600 on the NEC. My 770 only handles 640x240, so my display is always cut off and unusable.

I had wireless in mine, but the battery drain is unbearable. Ben Loading Comments...
