Odyssey gets trashed around here, quite often. When I had and x50v, odyssey was built into the rom so it was free, I don't know if it comes with other models. I used it and it worked every time. It was also very easy to set up new network works and then to pick among all your networks. Very useful, if, as I do, you connect to several during the course of a day.
Once the odyssey connections were set up I could no longer successfully connect using wlan on its own.
When I got my x51v, it connected using the wlan utility all the time, except for my little hitch with hitchhiker (since removed) it did not seem to have problems finding the correct network and logging on. However, on one of my travels, I could not connect to the network. I used the built in odyssey, (which I had removed from startup, but still had on the ax) and connected to this new hotel network right away. Alas, now my wlan is a bit flakey and hiccups when I connect to my regular nets.
I suspect that odyssey changes some setting, that makes it the preferred client. I also suspect as you built up more networks on your system that you have successfully connected to, the wlan utility starts to have problems. When I get some time, I will delve into the registry or other files, to see how settings are saved.
system works fine with odyssey, but I do unload it when I'm not using it.
