I upgraded fine to 9.10. No error messages of any sort, but I lost connectivity to my wireless router.

The wireless adapter I am using is Airlink 101, AWLH4030.

When I go in the network tool to add it back in, it will let me do that but the configuration is lost as soon as I authenticate.

Anyone with similar issues, and a possible solution?

The wireless router I have is a Linksys WRT610N, and all other computers and printers connecting to it works still fine.

I had problems with wireless after installing 9.10 and using synaptic installer I removed Network Manager and installed WICD, at the same time, and rebooted and my wireless is now better than it was in 9.04.

WICD won't run at all on my computer, so that does not help. I am using the 64-bit version of 9.10, and I have tried to debug the issue but all I see is that the wicd process dies.

Did you try to do one lever lower and use standard command-line utilities to see if your wireless adapter works at all and can see your router? Your problem may be not with NM or Wicd.
Here's some examples:
