I\'m trying to get my new Symbol spectrum 24 card to work on my 5500.
I\'ve found many threads about this card in the forum, but I still can\'t figure out what I have to do.
I tried adding the driver I found for it while hunting the downloads, but that seemed to really hose things up.
I restored from a backup, and I\'m back to the beginning.
It appears the card is recognised when it\'s plugged in, and it will \'try\' to connect when I select connect from the menu on the bottom, but there\'s nothing happening, and it eventually times out. :(
I\'m going to get a wireless hub today so I can be sure I have a good signal where I\'m testing instead of driving around by my local college library ;)
I could use one anyway.
Does anyone know if this should work with the Sharp ROM I dowmloaded and flashed a few days ago? (3.13, I think..)
If anyone has done the kernel upgrade or added a driver to get it working, I\'d like to pick your brain..I\'m not comfortable with the whole flash, backup, kernel change business (yet).
Thanks!

Well, seems my problems were all with the signal level.
Works fine now, didn\'t need any drivers.
I set up the access point and left it wide open, connected with no problems.
Now all I have to do is make it a little more secure!
