Wifi keep connect and disconnect on it's on.... help...

I also can confirm that something is broken in the WLAN connection in X50v - WM5 A02. I previously used WLAN with 3 different APs and it always worked in PPC2003 (sometimes using the Oddysey client, but not mandatory).
Now I cannot use the WLAN part, and even if configured to use WEP instead WPA-PSK. It only works if the device is rebooted with WLAN turned on. If I make a soft reset of the device with the WLAN off and after that I turn the WLAN on it doesn't find my AP.
And yes, WPA-PSK is not working - keeps connecting and disconnecting. The AP is TI-AR7WRD based. With an Atheros based AP it doesn't even connect.
The same issue was also present in the first WM5 implementation for X50v.
I can also confirm that X51v is not connecting to my WPA-PSK APs, with or without Oddysey. I cannot imagine how Dell tested the WLAN on these new releases !!

Eh... I manage to connect it after uninstalling the DELL update.... and it is connecting to my WPA-PSK AP.

i have a 108Mbps Wifi G router and it works really nice with the latest update...

before i had the update, it also kept connecting, disconnectiong,..

Mine was the opposite. With a 108Mbps router and no Axim's update it works ok. With updates it starts the joke.

I succeeded to make it work without rebooting. You must first turn the Bluetooth on. Then turn the WLAN On and wait until the connection is made. Then you can turn the Bluetooth off.
I installed the WirelessPower utility to help me cycle through these settings using the hardware button.
Please note that it doesn't work by starting Bt and WLAN on simultaneously! The order is important: first Bt, wait until the icon changes colour, then WLAN and wait until icon changes to green, then turn off Bt if you don't need it.
Another note: I'm using the included Microsoft Bt stack because Widcomm is eating some memory :(
Now I can connect with a classic Atheros 108G AP using WPA-PSK (without Odyssey)!
I think these steps might help you to be sure WLAN is working!

I tried the same with a X51v device but with no luck. It seems X50v is still better with WLAN than X51v.
