Hi all,

Subject pretty much sums it up. When I attempt to connect to an 802.11 access point, I'm able to see available networks, but attempting to connect results in the oh-so-informative "Network connection error. Try again?" message.

I've tried flashing to various OS revisions, and the problem has manifested on all so far (currently I'm on the Diablo 5.2008.43-7 image). I did notice some threads indicating that some people found success in adjusting the power saving setting to intermediate, but I've tried all three to no avail. Assigning the connection a static IP hasn't made any difference either.

I've tried at least three different models of wireless router, and am currently using a Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT firmware.

The wireless did actually work for a while after I got the N800, but since it started doing this I've had no luck connecting to any access point whatsoever.

It's (fortunately) not out of warranty yet, but I thought I'd check in here to see if anyone might be able to think of something I'd missed.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Update:
Here's a syslog snippet from an attempted connection -- for this attempt I was using WEP, a statically assigned IP, and intermediate power saving mode.

Code:

Can anyone offer any advice? It looks like it's just timing out.. is it possible that this is a hardware issue, given that the radio itself obviously does work? (since it can see that there are access points available)

I'm stumped.
