OZ and 5600 Network woes

[dz]

Ok, I have a quick question.  I finally got OZ running on my 5600 and it runs pretty smoothly.  The only problem I have though is my Wireless card rarely connects, and when it does, even though it grabs an IP address from my router it still doesn't have an internet connection.

Anyone else have this problem and if so, how to remedy?

Thanks

I know I'm not the only one with the problem, so I'm going to post my progress so maybe I could help someone else with the issue.

The problem with the WiFi card was easy; it was loading the wrong drivers for it.  Check and make sure it's detecting your card correctly and loading the correct drivers.

I'm at the point now where it connects to my network and pulls an IP all the time, but it does not set up internet.  I'll post more when I figure out why.

For reference, I am doing it from the command line.  I'm use to that because of my laptop.  I have different connections for different places.  My apartment wifi, my apartment wired, school, warwalk and others.  It wouldn't make sense to have one connection for everything.

The commands I use to connect are:

iwconfig eth0 essid routeressid nick Zaurus
udhcpc -i eth0

It's pretty straight forward.

I have a 5600 and I use DLink 660W card and I do not have problem connecting to my wireless router.  

One thing that I notice is missing, since you are setting it up on the command line, is the route command.  If you run "route -n", does it print out at least the IP of the Zaurus and the gateway?  If not, run the "route add default gw, etc" command.  Also make sure the resolv.conf has the correct info.

I did set mine up through the network gui.

Eh, I ended up selling the 5600 and getting an 860.  

We'll just say that I am a very, very happy customer now :-D
