Did you try the old vs. new kernels with a manual (i.e. wireless-tools) configuration? I think you will find that the new ones work better with hidden SSIDs than the old ones do. Of course, this is most easily confirmed with WEP or open networks. > Using the patched NM, I can "Connect to other wireless network" and it > works. But I noticed a different problem.

Probably due to the Beats me -- what hardware are you using? The Intel cards use hardware scanning, so maybe they are caching some results? John -- John W.
