You provided great info, most people wouldnt provide (or cant) that. I think its great that you have tried unencrypted. I love searching got a linksys router as, by default, they are unsecure. I was going to advise (if you didnt know already) that the 6700 only does 802.11b but I see you said your router was already running mixed. There are no specific settings in the wireless adapter other than to specify an IP. There is nothing in there that will fine tune or tweak the device to pick up and connect to any network.

The only suggestion I have (because you have tried a lot so far) is to flash back to WM5 with a good and popular ROM (because it would have little or not bugs) and leave the DLink unencrypted but also set it just to 802.11b (so nothing else can interfere) and make sure there is no MAC filtering.

I know its likely NOT what you want to hear but my biggest question to you is about the ROM you are using and possibly causing the issues. Reme,ber in the comupter worlds (PPCs included) that software is what makes hardware work. So maybe you do not have a hardware issue but more of a software driven one.
