iPAQ 5400/5500 WLAN Update
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handhelds/us/download/20019.html
HP has released a WLAN update for the 5400 and 5500 series iPAQs running Windows Mobile 2003. Even though the about page doesn't specifically say it, the update doesn't show up on the Pocket PC 2002 version of the 5400 site. It appears to be a RAM update, not a ROM update.  The enhancements include:
� LEAP user interface now integrated into Microsoft WLAN user interface.
� Provides LEAP support for those customers accessing Cisco LEAP enabled Network.
� Improves connectivity.
� Improves roaming ability.
So, after the LEAP UI enhancement and LEAP support for Cisco networks, there is the following warning. "This WLAN driver update is not compatible with the LEAP supported driver for the iPAQ and with networks that use LEAP authentication."
I have no clue what that means. :? Maybe one of you with LEAP can fill us in. :confused totally: The rest of you 5400/5500 owners, maybe you just need to take a leap of faith. :lol:

I have a network at work that uses CISCO LEAP. There's no way to make this thing on my h4155 to work with the router :evil:
Perhaps this model needs an update - not to introduce the feature, but to fix it?

I tried to install it, but it told me vnetusba.dll was in use (WiFi was off, and not connected to my network) and wouldn't let the install continue.
Jeez... :roll:

Unfortunately, I've heard through several people that even though HP says that the iPAQ's have LEAP support - that this doesn't appear to be the case
You would think that HP would be testing this out and hopefully have it working on their end, but with all the complaints that I have heard, there has to be a disconnect somewhere...
LEAP (Cisco's Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) is wireless technology that is built on the 802.1x authentications for local area networks (LANs), which allows users to roam freely and not to be tied to any one specific domain or to the rotation of encrypted security keys. Customers can use their username and password as defined by the administrator.

So far the workaround for this is to find that dll file and rename it to .old then reinstall the update and it should work. I haven't tried it for this update as mine worked the first time but the previous update gave me problems like this and renaming the dll worked.

But, is this update good?
Is the Wi-Fi working better than with the HP iPAQ Pocket PC h5400-h5500 Series WLAN Driver Update - version 3.2.2.115?
