Noob Wifi Help

hi there,
   New to the zaurus system, and struggling with wireless connectivity.
Basically, i have a WCF12 card (linksys) and it works fine (perfectly?!) under the Sharp ROM on my sl-5500, but having installed OZ 3.5.1 (but did try 3.5.2) , it all goes wrong. The card is recognized but after configuring it (As best i could, as there was no option (in the gui at least) to set wep key types, input method etc, simply an input called Key1 etc...) no connection!
The ESSID box states the name of my network, but seems to have what looks like mangled beacon packets or something trailing after ..  (random cahracters, but repetitive)...
No joy with WEP off on the AP either...
IP doesnt get set by dhcp, in fact it doesnt even send a request to the server for an IP...
its all rather strange.

It seems odd that it works straight off with the Sharp ROM, but its being incredibly picky with OZ..

Maybe i'm missing somehting!

Anyone else know of such things?

Flash to 3.5.2. There's configuration for WEP in the gui, and it seems to be even more reliable!

I use opie (from oz 3.5.2) but did not see any wireless configuration except there is a wlan under Network.  Where can I put ESSID?

In my house I dont can use wi-fi with WEP in my AP, but OZ 3.5.2 work fine with no WEP... I dont know but this sounds like a bug! SHARP ROM works with WEP in same scheme!

Wireless WI-FI cards are linkeds to eth0, not wlan, select eth0 click on configure and voila! but here I dont can use WEP... dont work... but works fine in insecure mode!
