I have not been able to connect to my office WiFi since installing a 2.2 ROM. I tried these ROMs (With full wipe and delete cache between installs): BuglessBeast, Kangerade, CM6, Lithium, and ChevyNo1's. I tried a bunch of different kernels too: p3, ChevyNo1, and others.

My home Wifi works fine though (venerable Linksys WRT54g with WPA2 & TKIP encryption). I even tuned the Cisco Wireless access points in the office back and forth from WEP and WPA/WPA2, and TKIP and AES encryption. Nothing seems to work. After trying to connect a few times, I get "Disabled" in the connection status. Yes, I already tried the "forget connection" option.

I also have 8 Co-workers in my office with DROID 1's (All stock), they had no problem connecting at the office. However, last Friday they all got the 2.2 OTA update from Verizon and now none of them can connect to the WiFi in the office. It seems to be only certain wireless routers/access points that do not work. I thought it had something to do wtih wirelss security or encryption, but switching modes did not help and it doesn't explain why my Droid works fine at my house.

This is clearly a firmware/software problem with Froyo 2.2 and even VERIZON have begun acknowledging it. Google...Motorola...whoever...let's get this fixed ASAP.

Why not post it as a bug on google's bug tracker, if it is not already listed of course. They have an extensive list of known bugs and "possible" bugs reported by everyday users. They are rated low, medium and high priority based on how many people track the problem. The more folks with this issue the faster they will work on it, you get the idea. The list can be found here.

Have you tried leaving the network wide open?

Two things I have experienced will produce the same symptoms you are experiencing:
1.) MAC Address filtering <----your not on the list!
2.) Wrong Pass Key <---protected networks

Hope you get this resolved. I battled with my wifi for awhile when I first got my Droid. A new router was the only thing that worked
My old 802.11G belkin router just would not work. Weird too because the Droid does not utilize 802.11N :-/

I'll try that as it does seem to be a growing issue. How do I do this?

Thanks

-Can't leave network open in an office of 120+ people. Also, tried removing passkey just for troubleshooting, didn't make a difference.
-MAC address filtering is not used on our public layer of our WLAN.
-Passkey is correct. Checked and re-entered it literally thousands of times.
