Case sensitive ESSID?

Ever since Todd's wireless router died and he had to replace it, I have had trouble being able to get on his network. My configuration had not changed, and I have no problems getting on my network or any of the other ones that I use. As a last ditch effort, I decided to look at the capitalization of his ESSID and what I had in my configs. Turns out they were different, so I made them match, changing the case of 1 (one) letter, and all is well now. Is this a known "issue"?

i would have expected it to be case-sensitive.
