For Sale IPAQ with dcf-660w Air card

Fed up with this, I feel an xda coming on, newer networking technology
without the headaches.I often wonder why things have to be so difficult,
what happened to Go and Stop and On and Off technology? Can anyone explain
why I can't buy a PDA, laptop, etc etc without having to go through a degree
course to get the thing set up the way I want it set up? I embrace
technology but I think that it sometimes tries to be too clever. I have
spent two days trying to resolve the problem of getting my ipaq to connect
to my wireless router and give me access to mobile browsing on my pda but it
wont have it. I have tried forum after forum, newsgroup and chat and no one
has come close to solving the problem. I am running the latest DFC-660w
drivers and utility, it tells me that all is fine but I cannot browse the
internet on my pda. Madness! I say, Madness
