I'm probably overlooking something very simple here, but this problem has me out and out confused.

I'm trying to connect a 2215 to my home network using a Linksys WCF12 card. Using Linksys drivers proved to be an exercise in futility, so I installed the PRISM reference drivers from eagletec.com, as detailed here (http://www.pc-counselor.com/How_to/senao.htm).

My router is a Netgear WGT624v2, set to Auto 108Mbps. I've also tried setting it to b only, to no avail. WEP is enabled, and the correct key has been entered in the iPAQ, although I've also tried it with WEP disabled. I've also disabled Mac filtering.

The SSID of my home network shows up as available when I go to check settings on my iPAQ, but I am unable to connect to it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have any firewall or network security running? You may need to tell it to allow the ipaq in the network. Here's a free network utility that can helps diagnose some network problems.

I have the same Linksys WCF12 card with my H3765. I also had similar problems when I first got it. To solve mine I had to turn on the broadcast of my SSID. I originally had the SSID broadcast turned off to give extra security. If your is off, try turning it on.

Also, I had no problem with the Linksys version of the drivers. It has been a very reliable card once I found the trick.
