Whats up with wifi and the newest ds lites?

[Soybomb]

So whats the deal with the newest ds's and homebrew wifi working on them? I just bought a new ds lite and wifi on the commercial carts works fine, but homebrew isn't getting along with it so well. I'm running an old linksys 802.11b wifi router right now. Broadcast of SSID is enabled, wep is enabled, and its running on channel 1, mac filtering is enabled and the ds lite's mac address is in the allow table. (Had wii compatibility problems on other channels so I wound up sticking with 1 for the wii's sake).

 

dsftp will just sit at searching for an access point, dsliveweather stalls at connecting to an AP. During this process I don't see the ds's mac address active on the AP. I ran flashme8a just in hopes it would be the magic touch. Of course it was not.

 

I saw this post http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22279 where a user elsewhere reported that changing to channel 10 on the ap fixed their problem so I set my AP to channel 10. Now dsftp chokes at acquiring dhcp then gives me a could not connect. Alright lets try the may23, 2007 build of wifi_lib_test that was posted in a wifi problems thread. Check the dns test, google resolves, everything looks happy. Lets check weather again, "connecting to ap...success" Bam there's the forecast data. Hmm okay lets go back to mario kart and kill dhcp and assign ip info manually. Dsftp starts fine now, registers on the ap, and shows the assigned IP address. I can't connect to it via ftp or ping it, but perhaps this is dsftp's problem. since the wifilibtest and weather app work fine even with dhcp and wep turned on.

 

Okay now go back to the AP and set it back to channel 1. ds ftp is now stuck searcing for an access point again, wifilibtest is back to assocstatus_searching. So yes the channel 10 thing is sort of a fix but some of nintendo's other wifi gear is pretty wonky too so its not an ideal fix. I'm sure this has to be some sort of pretty decent clue as to whats going on. I'm not a programmer but my day job is networking so I'll help out however I can if you guys need more data.
