If you want the signal meter to work like it did in pocket pc 2002 follow all steps.
If you dont care about the singnal meter just folllow steps 2, 4, 9 & 10
DO NOT USE THE 1.1 DRIVER FROM LINKSYS SITE. IT DOES NOT WORK. you can only get a 169 ip address.  i spent 40 minutes on the linksys support online chat trying to get that to work and in the end they had me go back to the beta driver.
1 . Down load the pocket pc 2002 driver from here rename .zip to .cab
2. Download the 2003 Beta Driver from here
3. Copy the cab file to and install on your Dell Axim X5 (I have the 400 MHz version but it should also work on the 300 MHz)
4. Unzip and install the beta 2003 driver from your computer through activesync. you shouldn't see any activity on your Axim.
5. Undock and insert your wcf12 in the CF slot. it should recognize it immediately. if not the name is prismnds.dll
6. it should be assigned a 192.168.1.xxx ip via dhcp if you have it turned on, but you can not connect to the internet yet because it tells you you need to set up a proxy server.
7. The signal meter should appear at the bottom of the screen (red or blue) click on it and pick the "Advanced Configuration"
8. Create a profile by typing in any name in the profile line (i used home) and your ssid in the ssid line.
9. Under the connections tab in the settings panel, click wireless ethernet. you should see your network there, if it says available click and hold then choose connect.
10. Click on the network adapters tab, and make sure the your network card connects to "The Internet" not "Work"
You should be able to connect to the internet and your network now. :D

Ok, I am having some problems here.
1 . Down load the pocket pc 2002 driver - rename from zip to cab.
Done & copied the file over via active sync, unpluged the Axim, ran the cab file & it instlled.
2. Then I installed the beta driver (unzipped, zip file & ran it on my PC).
3. The Axim immediately recognized the WCF12 card.
4. I was able to connect (so the software says) to the network (it found my SSID name & I was able to put my WEP 128 key in & the Axim registers as being connected).
Pocket DHCP says my ip address is a 169 number & should be a linksys 192.168.1.XXX number on the PPC.
I did create a profile using Home & my SSID name but I dont see why I would need to do that (the default & Any SSID I would think would work, but either way I followed that instruction).
Under wireless ethernet, it sees my network card & when I click on the card, it sees my network.
"10. Click on the network adapters tab, and make sure the your network card connects to "The Internet" not "Work""
My setup only says "My ISP" or "My Work".
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich
