Mobility Site - View Single Post - Axim X5 and Sandisk CF WiFi Card

I have been trying to get my Axim X5 to connect to my wireless network. Here is what I have:

Linksys WRT54G Router running HyperWRT 2.0b4 firmware
Sandisk Connect Plus 128MB WiFi 802.11b CF Card
Dell Axim X5 (ROM A05)Running Microsoft Pocket PC Version 4.20.1081 (Build 13100).

I plug the card in, and follow the wifi guide here (http://wifi.aximsite.com/wifi_net.html) and do everything it says. However, when I go to connect to the network, it will not connect (my router does not see the Axim). Also, under PocketMechanic, it does not show me getting an IP address (just lists 0.0.0.0).

Under vxUtil > I, it shows under adapters:

PRISM1 - Sandisk low power 128MB + WiFi Compact Flash Card
IP Address: 0.0.0.0

Everything else is blank

PRISMDNS1 - Sandisk low power 128MB + WiFi Compact Flash Card
IP Address: 0.0.0.0

Everything else is blank

Under Start > Settings > Connections > Connections >Advanced >Network Card >Sandisk low power 128MB + WiFi when you go in there, Use server-assigned IP Address.. but if you look under the IP Address box, it shows fe80::260:b3ff:fe6. Now I am lost.

The router is set up for DHCP, and I can connec to it with my laptop using it's built in WiFi. The router is set for Mixed Mode (B&G), and MAC Filtering. (I have tried it w/o mac filtering as well)

Now I am lost. Any Help?
