By the way vga=791 is not a grub option, it is a linux kernel option.
"Take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst. I've added the line
# defoptions=vga=793
Then run `update-grub` to update the entries in the file."

deftly plugging a wireless hub into an ADSL modem, and then scanning for
that AP - the comment is irrelevant.

see above(s).
This picky and competitive mentality is, frankly, a waste of time.
