Late to the party, pardon...
FWIW, there _is_ a problem w/ mac80211's pre-authentication scanning.
It doesn't probe for SSID, so it can't see hidden networks.
I have been testing the patch below with some success using the
wireless-tools package. However, NM still seems unable to get an
association, at least not on the first try. Sometimes/often the 2nd
or 3rd try works, whereas w/o the patch it basically never succeeds
without some sort of command-line intervention.
Anyway, perhaps you can test w/ the kernel patch below applied?
It is also available in the Fedora rawhide kernels here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=13001
Thoughts?
