One of the most popular pieces of DS homebrew software is Beup, see http://dl.qj.net/Nintendo-DS/catid/187
Unfortunatly I could not get it to work on my DS with WEP enabled on my router. As I don't like to have totally unsecure wifi network this was really a problem to me.
I found out that Beup is open source and that it used dswifi_lib. So first I recompiled Beup using the latest dswifi_lib without any result. That didn't put me back. I compiled one of the dswifi_lib examples and that program succeeded to connect to the internet using the configuration of the DS itself. That seemed to work so I changed the code of Beup a bit and now it works fine for me!
You can download my patch here And you can also download the orgininal source code.

Recently I found out that the reason of the connection problems often lies in the DHCP not functioning well on the DS. I now changed the settings on my DS to have a fixed IP. That work as a charm! Hopefully the next dswifi_lib will support DHCP properly.
