Wi-Fi SSIDs

We were having problems connecting an iPAQ h5550 and a Tungsten C to our Sybase Wi-Fi network. Other iPAQs and our laptops could connect without any problem. It turns out that these PDA devices can only support an SSID of 31 characters and the Sybase SSID is 32 characters. When the SSID is shortened on the APs to 31 characters, things work fine.
