I'm able to connect to my WAP with 100% signal strength/quality, but am not able to see the Zaurus from my network nor the network from my Zaurus. I've never seen an issue like this before, and I'm kind of at a loss. I'm hoping that someone has seen this type of issue before and found a way to fix it.

Anyway, here's some network configuration dumps from both my Zaurus and Linux desktop:

I know that at least my WAP can see the Zaurus connecting, because there is an entry in the logs with the connect time and MAC addresss. Despite this fact, I'm not able to ping the WAP from my Zaurus. wacko.gif

- The D-Link is just problematic. May be a bogus card ... it's not consistent in what's wrong each time, except that it often ends in a crash. (smirk) It is properly detected (usually) and has configuration in wlan.conf, but I haven't done a modprobe to see if prism_cs is loaded. It finally just refused to even be recognized as anything but a generic CF card, so I gave up on it.
- The LinkSys works perfectly, until it doesn't. (giggle) Route, netstat, cardctl, ifconfig, iwconfig, all give the same results before it doesn't work, and after. The only difference is that under Network, the SSID is garbulated (looks like a mix of random chars, with some boxes like Japanese chars appear), and the Quality is nothing. Signal is good, and loading the Network to see this crashes the Z.
- Comments? Suggestions? I'd like to have WiFi on this guy...
