1st Why don't you get Mint 4.0 or Mint Light
2nd Mint 4.0 does ascii and hex isn't ascii 40 bit and hex 64 or 128 bit. I think
3rd why don't you use hex 128 bit - did you disable and change the ssid broadcast - limit no. of dhcp users - setup mac filtering?

Did you try restarting the computer or shutting down and starting it. Some times with mine I have to give it a second to connect. I noticed with PCLinux it seemed to connect faster.

Would you be able to try a different card to see if it works.

Try resetting your router and see if it connects with no security. If it does then you can set each security piece using the wireless card so you will be sure it is not the problem.
