There is additional background detail in a thread[1] that appeared on ITT, in it I asked the OP to post in the developers mailing list as I had a hunch you might be the best person to assist! :)

It seems as though the 770 WiFi worked for a short while (2 hours) but has since failed to work at all - the 770 doesn't detect any networks despite reflashing with previous, current and hacker edition 770 firmwares. Command line tools appear to suggest the WiFi interface is a little confused[2].
