An interesting thing is that you could put any password for wep 64 and the router will reset and not connect.
They changed the wireless interface in 7.10. In 6.10, you just enabled it and set your ESSID and password. In 7.10, you have to enable roaming and are given choices of 64/128 bit hex, 64/128 ascii etc. I like the option about restricted drivers in 7.10. I used it for the nVidia drivers and I was able to use the whole screen for the first time. I wish the wireless would work. Another drawback of 7.10 I noticed is the inability to resize the installation screen of 7.10. Because I need the restricted drivers for the newer Nvidia graphics, the installation puts the screen resolution at 800x600 and because I am using a 19 inch Sony Multiscan 400PS monitor (an older one), I can resize the install screen to install Gutsy because I can not see the forward and backward buttons on the bottom of the screen as I can not get to the bottom of the screen. There is no scroll bar on the side. The only avenue is to upgrade to 7.10... (another oops).
