I'm using NetworkManager 0.6.4 in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn.
In Edgy, using NetworkManager 0.6.3, I was able to connect to my wireless network, which has a hidden SSID, by clicking on "Connect to other network..." and typing in the SSID. My network uses MAC address filtering, and no encryption. In Feisty, and NM 0.6.4, my SSID appears in the dropdown list of available wireless networks after having tried to connect to it a few times, just as it appeared in 0.6.3. However, whether I click on the network from the list, or connect to it by manually typing in the SSID, NM will not connect to it. I'll get the little "connecting" animation, but neither of the two dots will ever light up, and eventually, it will time out, and go back to saying that it is not connected to any network. I was able to use NM 0.6.4 to connect to my neighbor's unsecured wireless network, and I was also able to use Gnome's built-in network configuration utility to connect to my hidden SSID network. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, and I'd just connect that way except that it doesn't always work, I have to go disable the card and reboot to get NM to scan for networks again, and some apps in Feisty, such as Gaim, connect to NetworkManager over dbus and won't sign in if NM doesn't report a connection. My router is an Apple Airport Express, and my wireless card is an Atheros 11g card using the madwifi driver included in Feisty. I'd really like to get this sorted out, so any help is appreciated.
