My problem has been described in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513993#42, but since that is not what #513993 is/was originally about, I took the liberty to clone that bug so that the issues can be tracked separately.
I can't use wicd at all with hidden SSID. The only way to enter the SSID is Network -> Find a hidden network, but as soon as I enter the SSID all networks disappear until the daemon is restarted, as noted by Celejar. IIRC this has been broken in 1.6 whereas it worked in 1.5.9. To me this looks as if none of the wicd developers ever connects to a hidden network, given that this functionality has been totally¹ broken for so long. Sven ¹ Well, it might even work for hidden networks without encryption, but certainly not for WPA or WEP secured networks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
