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. Then networking restart and then network-manager restart will do it.

I hope that this is useful to find the cause of this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316634 Title: Does not automatically reconnect to hidden WiFi network To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1316634/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
