On a Lenovo 3000 laptop with an integrated Broadcom network adapter, I
installed firmware-b43-installer and then successfully connected to my
hidden (SSID not broadcast) WiFi net.
But I see that it will not automatically reconnect. I don't have to
re-enter the password, but I do have to click the nm-applet indicator,
choose 'Connect to Hidden Wi-Fi Network' and then choose my
already-defined connection, which indeed has been saved but not used
to automatically reconnect.
If I edit the connection, I see that on the General tab it is already
set to 'Automatically connect to this network when it is available.'
The only way I have gotten this to work is to enable SSID Broadcast
(which most users probably do, even though disabling SSID Broadcast is
a common security recommendation).
Dual-booting this same laptop with Windows Vista, I see that Windows
knows how to automatically reconnect to the hidden net.
In case there is a startup timing issue of some sort, I see that my
laptop's wireless radio LED doesn't light until the Plymouth splash
screen appears.
Can I edit something to make this work?
I should have added that this is on Trusty.
