WLAN Firmware Release For iPAQ 5400 Series
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp24501-25000/SP24574.exe
HP has released updated firmware for the WLAN chip in the iPAQ 5400 series. You must have the 1.11.xx ROM installed before applying this firmware update. Enhancements and fixes include:
� Adds LEAP authentication client support
� Enables connect with a WLAN Access Point that supports both 802.11b and 802.11g
You can download the full readme file here. It is not on their support web site yet, but files often make their way to the FTP site a few days before the web pages are updated.

Works fine with my Linksys WRT54G (latest firmware) in Mixed mode.
You can also perform the update over active sync using the wireless as I leave my cradle at work and use WLAN at home

Works fine on my 5455. I was kinda hoping the signal strength meter issue would have been fixed with this but it wasn't. :roll:

After clicking "Start Update" the progress bar gets two blocks and then I get a dialogue box thats says "Error, please reset this device ad re-run this application called 'WLAN ROM Update' from Start Menu'.
If I do that I do not find this on the start menu or indeed anywhere on the ipaq! I do have version 1.11.19 ENG.
oh well...
edit: ok a hard reset sorted that problem (sigh!)

A dump trick
Just remind- my experience- you need to turn ON your WiFi before you can update.

Gosh... I am a bit late... see my post... its the problem... nothing about hardreset... I just pull the battery out for couple seconds, plug and turn on, then turn on WiFi, start the patch (its located under \Windows\WLAN ... Update) and then things go smoothly (without bothering hardreset...)
