I've been trying from the official Lucid Lynx 10.04 x64 CDs, installing locally to the laptop. I first tried Kubuntu but when I started experiencing this issue, I also tried Ubuntu, both with current updates (as of the time that I had it running). Currently, I'm running Kubuntu.
I have, however, found a partial workaround as of yesterday. (Background: among other duties, I manage a wireless infrastructure that currently has 23 Cisco APs on a WLC4402. All APs on the WLC use the same exact settings for the multiple WLANs being used. Some are broadcasting their SSID while others are hidden, or cloaked.) Since no one was using the one WLAN I wanted, I temporarily turned on broadcast, watched it connect, turned off broadcast, rebooted and Kubuntu reconnected. When I walked out of range of the first AP, it picked up a second. When I powered off, moved to another area (out of range of the first 2 APs), powered on, it did not want to reconnect at (hence partial solution). I discovered that KNetworkManager stored the known BSSIDs in the config file for the WLAN under seenbssids. -- Hidden SSID still not work in 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576992 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
