(A06 came pre-installed on my Ax51v)

From what I've experienced, if your using the Odssey client, the WM5 "wireless" screen dissapears. Disabling the Odssey client, soft-reset and/or using a free client (such as Hitchhiker) after turning off the Odssey client in most cases will re-enable the WM5 wireless screen.

The WM5 client has a few strange behaviors:

There are about 20+ access points listed on the WM5 client screen, all are access points that I've "seen" in the past. If I have wireless turned ON and I'm nowhere near a wireless signal (as shown by the Dell client Site Screen), WM5 will brainlessly cycle through attempting to connect to each and every one of the 20+ access points listed. (what a battery drain!)

UPDATE: After updating the firmware of the Linksys 54g and the Netgear access points at work, the WM5 client is able to use WPA-PSK/TKIP to connect.

My Dlink Di624 still requires the Odssey client.
