Now I have done further tests. Sometimes calling network-manager restart once will suffice to get connected, but sometimes not. Then you can try again and again without getting a connection.

When the issue occurs, the network manager tells me that there are wireless networks available, but it does not connect automatically to the hidden network. Probably there is some state that is stored in NetworkManager: * When you have manually disconnected from a wireless network, you probably don't want to reconnect automatically. * When you was connected to a wireless network, you probably want to reconnect to that network. * When you have manually chosen a specific network, you might want to connect only to that network There should be something like on mobile phones where you can choose one network manually or let the phone choose the network automatically.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1316634] Re: Does not automatically reconnect to hidden WiFi network
Unfortuately I have to admit that my patch did not really solve th issue. While yesterday the problem did not reappear, today I was experiencing the problem again. Before I was thinking, that the problem appeared everytime when the network was connected before and thus when not manually connecting on every second boot, but this might not be true, because yesterday I thought the issue was fixed, because the issue didn't appear after a reboot even when the network was connected before. I was thinking, there was something like a state that survives a reboot and could be cleared with the patched script. It might be that the patched script somehow changes some probabilities, but the issue is definitely not fixed. -- 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/1316634 Title: Does not automatically reconnect to hidden WiFi network Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running Lubuntu 14.04 32-bit on a Lenovo 3000 C200 laptop with an integrated Broadcom network adapter, I installed firmware-b43-installer and then successfully connected to my hidden (SSID not broadcast) WiFi net.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1316634] Re: Does not automatically reconnect to hidden WiFi network
The patch works with Xubuntu 15.04, but the bug has been reported for Ubuntu 14.04. Can someone confirm that the patch is sufficient to solve the issue on Ubuntu 14.04? Probably the network-manager needs to be updated, too, if the version provided with Ubuntu 14.04 still lacks support for pre-up/pre-down (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387832). -- 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/1316634 Title: Does not automatically reconnect to hidden WiFi network Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running Lubuntu 14.04 32-bit on a Lenovo 3000 C200 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 can get automatic reconnection is to enable SSID Broadcast. And a similar effect: If I am connected to the network while SSID Broadcast is in effect and then disable SSID Broadcast, network- manager immediately loses the connection.
