Here is what it does...

"Fixes and Enhancements

Fixed issues:
1.Roaming between APs sometimes is not seamless.
2.When the number of neighbor APs exceeds 16, roaming may not succeed.
3.Roaming may fail if the Cisco AP enables the mixed security mode.
4.Roaming from AP1 to AP2 is not smooth enough.
5.When roaming in WPA-PSK network, it takes about 2 minutes to roam to another AP unexpectedly. "

Cut & Paste from Dell Support page.

Is there a way to check a newly purchased (used) AXIM to see what updates have been installed?

Not that I know of - but if you just purchased it and the fix shows up later... it's probably not on there. Aka 'this isn't in A12 if it's released this way'. Anyone tried this out to see if it screws anything ELSE up?

Question

Will this update wipe out my X51v and force me to reinstall all my apps?

Sounds like it will make WiFiFoFum a killer application on the X51 series!

I just ran it, and it's seemless, no errors. I'm kinda liking this new method for updates!

Don't get too excited....this is just a Driver Update, not a full blown ROM upgrade. I think those (ROM) will still require Hard Reset and re-inatallation of programs. I am going to give it a try now.

EDIT: Everything went well. Was very quick and easy
An (X) indicates a Wi-Fi post from my Axim X51.

I did the upgrade and it makes the switch between my AP's better.
Also if you change from one wireless to another is better.
Not so much excitement
