Using WLAN card (D-link DCF-660W) in WinCE5.0

We are working on the Intersil Prism2 wlan Driver in WinCE 5.0 AMD
DB1200 Platform. And using D-link Air DCF-660W WLAN card. I load the
Intersil Prism2 driver - ISLP2NDS.dll for the WLAN card successfully.
The LED of the card begins to blink.

But ISLP21 shows the IP Information:
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP):
Address type: DHCP
IP Address : 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0

The physical address is right.
The card can't connect to the AP.

Then I configure a static IP in the control panel for the ISLP21, but
It reports the new ethernet configuration:
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP):
Address type: static
IP Address ........ : 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask ....... : 0.0.0.0

I checked the registry for the card, it shows as follows:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\D-Link-DCF-660W-422B]
"Dll"="ndis.dll"
"Prefix"="NDS"
"Miniport"="ISLP2"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ISLP2]
"Displayname"="Intersil 802.11 Wireless LAN PC Card"
"Group"="NDIS"
"Imagepath"="ISLP2NDS.dll"

[[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ISLP2\Linkage]
"Route"="ISLP21"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ISLP21]
"ISLP2IOC"="ISL1:"
"Displayname"="Intersil 802.11 Wireless LAN PC Card"
"Group"="NDIS"
"Imagepath"="ISLP2NDS.dll"
"ISLP21OC"="ISL1:"

[[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ISLP2\Parms]
"NetWorkAddress"="000000000000"
"PlugAndPlay"="0"
"BusNumber"="0"
"BusType"="8"
"InterruptNumber"="3"
"IoBaseAddress"="768"
"LoadFirmware"="1"
"PlatformID"="32797"

[[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ISLP2\Parms\TCPIP]
"DefaultGateway"="192.168.6.1"
"WINS"="value not set"
"DNS"="value not set"
"subnetmask"="255.255.192.0"
"IPAddress"="192.168.6.238"
"EnableDHCP"="0"
"AutoCgh"="1"

The TCP/IP info is the same as that I set in the control panel. But it
seem that it doesn't work.
I try to modify the NetWorkAddress, but it's no use.

Does anybody know what's the wrong? Thanks a lot.

It *sounds* like the parameters you set to connect to your access point are
wrong. Does Windows Zero Config pop up when you install the card? And,
after you configure the wireless connection for the right SSID, WEP or
whatever, etc., does the WZC dialog show that the SSID is "Connected"? If
so, then I'd say that there's a problem with getting IP addresses assigned
via the access point. There are tons of things that could be wrong, access
point is set up to require LEAP, PEAP, or similar EAP authentication, but
you have not configured the card that way in the WZC dialog, the access
point is set up to filter connections based on MAC addresses and your card's
MAC address isn't in the list, etc., etc.

Thanks!

But my access point works without any encryption.

The log showes as below:
start zero config......
associating with any (the SSID of my access point)
Failed to associate with any
preferred List Exhausted

It seems that the wireless card doesn't connect to the AP.

Yes, that's what it's saying. Please answer my questions...
