So...to cut to the chase...I bravely gave it all up and installed the 40-24 image of Hentges ROM and installed the 3 ipks necessary for the Sandisk card (hostap-utils_0.3.7-r0_arm.ipk,prism3-firmware_1.8.3-r2_arm.ipk,prism3-support_1.0.0-r0_arm.ipk) from my CF card instead of using my Belkin network card and the feed AND installed to RAM!! Put in the Sandisk card and it connected with a beautiful green light.
Thanks to Hentges for an amazing system to install OZ. Every package installs smoothly with a satisfying..."symbolic links successfully created" unlike trying to install the raw OZ ROM which generates errors all over the place. Also, the Sharp compats work perfectly....well...you get the flickering bar for some reason but other than that.
Okay, think I'll quit for the day while I'm ahead.
