I have an Ambicom wireless card and a linksys router, i am having the same problems, including frequent drops from the network, i am starting to suspect that it is just that wifi card, but after looking at all these posts im not so sure anymore, also when i look next to the SSID it shows the name of my ssid with a bnch of garbled characters next to it, they are constantly changing...

I turned of DHCP and it fixed the problem, i hate DHCP it seems to be the source of many problems!

Sounds like a good idea i think i will have to try that... I still have to get xmms working though, im just too lazy to try and dload the dependencies

I had similar problems when i first got my Zaurus (3 days ago) i don't know if this is the best way to do this, but heres what i did; i noticed that when i installed stuff in root it worked fine (icons were showing up etc...) so what i did was i created the following directories on my SD card
mkdir /mnt/card/opt
mkdir /mnt/card/usr/lib

I then copied everything in /opt to /mnt/card/opt and also for /usr/lib so...

cp -r /opt/* /mnt/card/opt/
cp -r /usr/lib/* /mnt/card/usr/lib

then i knew i had to make symbolic links so that the zaurus still thought that /opt and /usr/lib existed, i also removed the old dirs so...
rm -rf /opt
rm -rf /usr/lib
ln -s /mnt/card/opt /opt
ln -s /mnt/card/usr/lib /usr/lib

After i did this everything just seemed to work better, i think its easier like this because i dont have to worry about linking every single file when i install it, the only problem is you obviously cant change sd cards and still expect your system to function properly, but i dont plan on doing this...
