I upgraded (via ipkg) to "hh36.11" on ipaq 5550. The wlan no longer works.
Error I get:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "PAWS" mode managed channel 10
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.

ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
%my ipaq says no device...

Opie "Network" setting says "disconnected".
Interfaces file:

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading wlan0
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# bnepo network
#iface bnep0 inet dhcp
# (192.168.0.202 is the iPAQ's IP, 192.168.0.200 is the host's IP)
iface bnep0 inet static
        address 10.0.0.2
        netmask 255.0.0.0

        netmask 255.255.255.0
        address 192.245.115.9
        wireless_essid PAWS
        wireless_mode Ad-Hoc

Any suggestions on what to do?
thanks
