Ah, the clues they fall from heaven as if pennies...

Lets see what is what (btw, I am using CAB Installer)...

Muhahahah

I have a light on the CF Wifi card. (!)

OK, I'll report back with success or failure. Thx so far,

OK, addendum:

- the CF wifi is an 80211.b, from Dell.
- I can see my local wifi network. (It reports 'available'.)
- I need to resolve/define terms like "EAP Type (peap or tls), Network Authentication SHARED MODE, and some other options in setting up the x5 side of networking. (why do they use really weird terms for things (Work network?)
- It looks like it supports WEP, but my local net is currently set to WPA2.
- I downloaded, and installed, MS ActiveSync ver 4.5.0 I may need to roll back a ver or two to be able to sync over wifi vs IR an/or USB.
- I can connect to my wireless router IF I set it to WEP, but not enough to actually get the DHCP portion to give me an IP.

Looks like I need to still resolve the lack of SYNC because there is more than just the BIN file to install onto the x5.

If any one can further this along, feel free.
