I'm not too familiar with all that's been posted here previously, but --
following up on the lastest posts, I can say this much.

-Have a Asus EEEPC 901, with Ubuntu Netbook Remix Jaunty.
-Have a D-Link DIR-625.

Here's stuff I did:

-follow these instrcutions to a T: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/339891/comments/114
-afterwards, updated to an array.org kernel, though I mot sure how to check the 
version I got.

Tried connecting, still nothing.
I can however tell you that every time, the wifi DID see a network, did pickup 
on my SSID, tried to connect - even the router received the MAC adress of the 
EEE. So there is clearly some communication between both.
Also, everytime, it would try to connect, then ask me for a password. When I 
put it in, the password was a simple 8-letter word. However, everytime it could 
not connect, the windowed request comes back, and I see more black spots then 
before -- so I check the "show letters" checkbox and I see that the pass is now 
in HEX value.

I went back to the router, changed the security level and went to WPA
personal-only -- it's not specified exactly if this is TKIP, but this is
what I'm led to believe. As soon as I took off the AES-level security
from the router, BOOM -- the EEE connected!

This looks to me like the problem is related to AES security. Not sure
how I would adress it, but I figured you could use the info at the very
least. Hope this helps.
