Title: Wireless Doens't Work Anymore
Post by: thechris on November 24, 2004, 07:21:15 pm

It worked 2 times...

i am now trying to connect to a wireless router  with my sl6000.  tried the command line options -- failed.  the auto options failed.  ad hoc failed.

what is ESSID?  is it similar to SSID?

also, the name of the wireless network has a space in it.  i used quotes on the command line.  the GUI tools didn't support a space.

Is my sl6000 defective or is the setup wrong?

Exactly how are you attempting to connect to the wireless network? Which ROM is installed on your Zaurus?

Are you trying to connect to a network you control? Can you log on to the router and change the SSID to another name without a space?

Have you been able to conenct to this specific wireless network in the past? If so, have you installed any new software or hardware since that last successful connection?
