I can confirm this bug on the stable release of Karmic, with KDE 4.3.4 updates applied. Furthermore, the iwlist wlan0 scan essid hiddenap workaround doesn't work for me. Knetworkmanager simply refuses to acknowledge the existence of the hidden AP even though iwlist sees it.
I can't believe this bug is listed as Medium. In my opinion, it is absolutely critical that this be fixed. I can't connect to my hidden University Network because of this bug, and its extremely frustrating. -- cannot connect to hidden ssid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-networkmanagement in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
