The patch that Michael mentioned (and has since been issued as an upgrade in the repositories) fixed the issue for me as well.
I really didn't think this bug would be fixed before Gutsy went gold. Yet another reason why Ubuntu is amaziing. Thanks for the heads up too, Michael. Also, is there some way I need to close this and mark it as resolved, or does a dev need to do it? ** Description changed: + UPDATE: This bug has since been fixed and an update issued. The latest NetworkManager will correct the issue. + For details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/baltix/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/50214 + Ubuntu is unable to connect to any SSID that's hidden, no matter whether it's open, uses WPA, or any combination of factors relating to network configuration (tested on university's WPA enterprise, WPA2 personal on router, and open, unencrypted APs). This has been attempted in Gutsy with the latest updates and using an Intel 4965 AGN wifi card through both the standard network configuration tool as well as NetworkManager. As soon as SSID broadcasting is enabled, all works well. Otherwise, it starts to connect (green status lights in nm-applet) and indicates in the tooltip that it's connecting to the designated network, but upon completion, is actually connected to another AP (or it freezes on the connecting stage and eventually fails). This is all manual, naturally, as I don't expect nm-applet to automatically connect to hidden networks. This is my first bug report, so please let me know if there's any other information I can provide. -- Unable to connect to networks with hidden SSID (gutsy and iwlwifi) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136504 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
