Well I did have a Network Security tech look at my Axim. He said there was no reason why it should not connect. They broadcast the SSID, they do not filter MACs, they do use Short preamble and they do use LEAP Authentication. He tried for about a half hour to get it to see and connect to the network, but could not get it to work. He suggested calling Dell. We never could see the network with the supplied applications (we could see it with ministumbler, but he said netstumbler sometimes blocks connections of the wired network and suggested we remove it.)
I'm guessing it is all about the Axim not being able to handle the short preamble. Again, once I switched my home network to long preamble it became visible. The Network security guy said zero chances of them changing to long preamble, so I need to find a way to get the Axim to recognize short preamble.
