I have this very same problem....but I did not see in this bug report that NM see's the AP but refuses to connect if SSID broadcast is turned off. I can understand why it might be a problem connecting if the AP is hidden, but for Gutsy (NM) to know the AP is there, display the hidden AP as a choice to connect to, but refuse to connect puzzles me. I read the things people have tried here, and its all over my head, I have no idea what most of the things are discussed here are.
I don't like having to broadcast my SSID, is there some simple cheat someone can tell me that will let me connect to the hidden AP for now until someone gets this fixed ? my SPEC's are: DD-WRT router(works great for other wireless clients), WPA2-personal mixed tkip+aes, NetGear 54g pcmcia wifi card ( prism54pci driver on wlan0). Like everyone else here, if I turn on SSID broadcast, it works great, but the minute I turn it off, it WILL disconnect the notebook and refuse to re-connect. -- can't connect to hidden network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50214 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
