Apparently noone did reply to you (if they did, they did if of list.
While thit is a FAQ (or close too), it would still be nice is all
replies are send to the list, so that other people know that you have
been helped. If I should have missed any reply I'm sorry. Better twice
than none).

You problem has nothing to do with power, but with bus saturation. The
iPaq only has a 16Bit 8MHz bus and that is saturated by the Aironet card
('s driver) and the screen is not refressed in time. The only thing that
would help you is to reduce the bandwidth of the wireless connection.
Maybe you do not want this.
