Hey guys,

Bought a Linksys WCF12 on the weekend and have been trying to get it to work with my Axim. I loaded the latest drivers off the website and such, but whenever I insert the card into my Axim the LINK light just keeps flashing and no matter what I do I can't find any base stations at all. I took the card and my Axim to work today where we have a lot of 802.11b equipment. Tried connecting it to a base station, a Mac with the Airport card configured as a software base station, etc but nothing. It wouldn't connect when I enter the SSID manually and such, and won't find any of the APs in the configuration utility either.

Another thing, when I slightly move the card in the CF (like, just tap it) the LINK light stops flashing and goes solid, but my Axim crashes! What the heck is going on here...

Am I doing something wrong? Is the card defective? I have no idea what's normal and not normal with this thing. It'd be really nice to be able to use this thing for sniffing around town :)
