Eureka! Ffficksd the Phukker - !!!!!!!!
The default setting of blank for the SSID may work for many Wi-Fi cards but not for this one.
After asking LinkSys for help & getting no quick reply, I guessed it had to be the config program not saving the settings, but if I put a setting for SSID in there, it did save it. So I set my AirStation for 'xyz' as the ESSID & set same on Zaurus & iPAQ & it worked. !!!!!
Then it occured to me that most config programs for Wi-Fi are going to accept 'ANY' as a valid default & sure enough
that worked too
3 months of messing about until I had the time to focus on the problem. All it needed was a few words in the
config program. Use 'ANY' as the default, a blank field may work but will not be saved.
Ahh well - be prepared.

Just wait until y'all try installing a Bluetooth PCMCIA card in a Win2000 notbook - what pure fun (above is much easier)
