Dear Maintainer, I can confirm this problem persists. I have to manually open the GNOME Wi-Fi Settings and choose "Connect to hidden network", despite that said network has "Connect automatically" set.
I removed a previous hidden network, which I'm 99% sure worked fine (but can't be 100%), as I read that having multiple hidden networks could confuse the system. That made no change. The NM connection page shows: >>> Connect automatically with priority 0 Mode: Client Band: Automatic Channel: default BSSID: [empty] Device: wlan0 Cloned MAC address: [empty] MTU: automatic bytes Security: WPA & WPA2 Personal Password: [saved, works when connected manually] all other settings blank/default >>> Please let me know what else I can provide to help resolve this. Thanks for all your work!
