Unable to connect to WAP with Zaurus SL-600L

[bruenor]

the FAQ says this should "just work"   but for some reason that is not my experience so far.

the Access Point is a Cisco  Aironet 340
no WEP
I've tried using DHCP and Static IP's but no luck..  

when I click connect on the Zaurus I see the following messages appear on the AP

0:00:06 I Node 00028aa86001 802.11  added locally
0:01:08 I Node 00028aa86001 802.11  removed, maximum radio retries

so the AP definately saw the Zaurus,  but the Zaurus failed to connect.   where can I locate more info (logs ?) on why this is failing ?

I do have a PC client that is using this AP without any trouble so I know the AP is configured and  working correctly.

dmesg is the best place to find what you are looking for.  You will see a section like this:

The CONNECTED line is what tells you if it was about to get a connection the access point.  The cisco aironets my school uses do not connect unless I have AuthType=sharedkey.   It has been a while since I used the sharp rom so I can not rember where it is that you change the AuthType at other then in the /etc/wlan/wlancfg-SSID file.

Hope some of the helps.
