Anyone knowledgeable in portable PC's?

Question

I was given an older model portable PC. It is in good working condition. It is a Hewlett Packard Jornada 540. I connected it to my laptop computer with the Microsoft Active Sync 4.5 already downloaded and the portable synchronized with the laptop. I would like to access the Internet with this portable PC. It has no ready made WIFI so I purchased one of those wireless cards. This card is a VeriFone 11Mbps 802.11b compact flash card. I put the card in the PC and it said "card unrecognizable". I put the flashcard software in the laptop in order to try to install the drivers. I tried to using the device manager and synchronizing. Nothing works. Anyone knows how to install the drivers for this card? Thank you for your time.

According to the manufacturer that card should work. If you haven't done so already try resetting the device. Remove the CF card and soft reset your PDA by pushing in the small indented reset button on the back with a pen or paperclip or whatever, this will refresh/restart the device. Pressing and holding the reset button whilst pressing the on/off button will hard reset your PDA back to its factory settings (all personal data will be erased). Insert the card again once the PDA has rebooted, check it is inserted properly (these type of cards can wobble around a bit). Here is the user manual for your device, look to chapter 4 for networking/internet- http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/lpia0000.pdf
Here is HP's support page for the Jornada 540 Pocket PC- http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=60508&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&task=&lang=en&cc=us
