A couple of possible soutions for the constant scanning/not connecting problem from the WiFi Guide:

If your device was able to connect initially but on subsequent attempts simply keeps scanning for networks but not connecting, there are a couple of possible solutions. The easiest is to delete all the extra networks listed on the Configure Wireless Networks page. In Axims with built-in WiFi, open the Wireless LAN utility, turn on the wireless, then tap the 'Setting' button on the Main screen. This takes you to the Configure Wireless Networks page. Hold your stylus on the name of each network and select 'Remove Settings' from the popup menu. If the network is shown as 'Available,' you'll need to move out of the range before it will allow you to remove the settings. [If the Remove Settings option is greyed out, then no settings have been stored for that particular network and it is showing in the list because you are within range of the access point.]
If this does not solve the continuous scanning problem, then a registry setting may be at fault (as described by KySandman in this thread at Aximsite). To make the following changes, you will need a registry editor, such as PHM Regedit. [Note: Before making any changes to your registry, you should make a full backup of your PPC. Making a mistake in the registry could cause the device to no longer function and that will require a hard reset to recover.] Since the instructions in the Aximsite thread refer to the X30, the location of the Domain field will probably be different on your device. Search the registry for "TCPIP" or "Domain." Before making any changes, write down the exact location and current entry in the field. For example, on my device using a CF card with the Intersil Prism drivers, the domain value of interest is located at \HKLM\Comm\PRISM1\Parms\TCPIP. After making a note of its content, tap on the Domain field name, delete the Value, exit the registry editor, soft reset your PPC, enable wireless and test for a connection. If this does not fix the problem, I recommend restoring the entry before trying other solutions.
