Hello again, I am just getting back to this.
I have tried the instructions on the wiki at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wifi_Connectivity#SSID_Network_Name But these instructions do not seem to work. After making the changes, nothing shows up in the Neighborhood view. I had success starting in Gnome, then connecting to the hidden network. And this kept when I switched back to Sugar. But, when I restarted, the hidden network was still hidden, and I had to do this again. Is there anyway to make this change permanent? What can I do? Again, we are running the laptops on version 10.1.3. Many thanks.
