I suggest closing this bug as it was logged in 2009 - the bug is now almost 3 years old.
I've not seen this bug in ubuntu 10.04 so it's reasonable to assume the issue has been resolved and I'm not going to go back to install 9.04 to start trouble shooting this now. I'd suggest closing the call as a dead issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503946 Title: Password box greyed out connecting to a hidden wirless network Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools Connecting to a hidden SSID network can take a long time in Ubuntu 9.10 and sometimes even fail. I have configued the hidden SSID network in the gnome-network-admin tool, and when it does auto connect it works fine, however if it doesn't auto connect (5 + minutes) I have to use the left click option "connect to hidden wireless network" When this happens a dialog pops up allowing me to select the SSID network I'd like to connect to - keep in mind mine is pre-configured. when I select my pre-configured SSID network from the available drop down list. the password box is blank, stopping it from connecting. The password entry field and connect button is greyed out so there is no way to then enter a password and connect. I have attatched images to illustrate. the auto connect problem has been a problem since 9.04, now in 9.10 the problem is worse and I can't do a work around anymore.
