Hi DesA,

My Trendtac (about the same as Elonex but in the Netherlands) connects
automatically everytime I start up the laptop.
Mind though: it takes between 10 and 20 seconds after the desktop
appears that the WiFi symbol turns orange and I can use the link.

I remember installing a Wifi patch from Trendtac which also enables
better wireless key options (Ascii).
The patch is still on my temporary webspace:

Maybe it will help.
