Can't set up wireless LAN access with IPAQ RX 3115/Linksys..

Sounds to me like you might be trying to enter the password as an alpha
phrase instead of a hex string.

Hi,

I have also the such a problem when I should connect my AXIM X50v to my
Linksys accesspoint. I read in the manual I should use the Odyssey
Client to setup connect to Cisco / linksys wireless lan. After doing
this is there no problem to make a connection. I use WPA / TKIP.
