HTC has supplied Dell with an
updated wireless chipset driver that fixes several issues related to roaming in multi-AP environments. Dell recommends that everyone install the driver update.

Some people claim that it speeds up wireless, but using cnet’s bandwidth tester I got EXACTLY the same speed as I
did in July using the old wifi driver, 1360 Kbps. To my knowledge, 1360 Kbps is the maximum transfer rate the Axim’s 802.11b chipset is capable of.
However, the
oft-
complained about problem of seamlessly roaming between access points on large wireless networks has been fixed.

Fixes and Enhancements
Fixed issues:
1.Roaming between APs sometimes is not seamless.
2.When the number of neighbor APs exceeds 16, roaming may not succeed.
3.Roaming may fail if the Cisco AP enables the mixed security mode.
4.Roaming from AP1 to AP2 is not smooth enough.
5.When roaming in WPA-PSK network, it takes about 2 minutes to roam to another AP unexpectedly.
