[Bug 422174] Re: cannot connect to hidden ssid
Reading around the problem, I found that some wifi drivers don't seem to run the KeyRing Authorization routine properly if a hidden SSID is used. This leads to the authorization not getting saved. This FIXED it for me: At the router, temporarily enable SSID broadcast. Make a connection and Save. Test WiFi with Disconnect and Connect. Go back to the router, re-disable broadcast and hide your router. Re-test, your connection should still work. In theory ...

I made a fresh Quantal Quetzal installation today in the laptop with this problem, and I can confirm that the problem is gone. Now I can login and immediately it connects to the hidden SSID with WPA Personal password. If you are still experiencing this problem and upgraded from an prior version, I suggest a fresh install to check it out. Thank you so much to the people who works to solve this problem. You are really awesome.

[Bug 422174] Re: cannot connect to hidden ssid
I'm having the same issue. I just downloaded Kubuntu at the suggestion of my College Instructor. I run a hidden wireless network, and can't login. I pkill'd knetworkmanager, and enabled nm-applet. nm-applet sees the hidden network with no issue. I have went back and forth to try and get knetworkmanager to work using iwlist scan wlan0 ssid to no avail. I'm a Windows user as its what I started with... I have gone back and forth to Linux and always seem to find myself stepping back towards MS. I guess what I'm saying... is that the learning curve is tough enough, you would think something as basic as this issue is... would be resolved quickly. I hope to stick it out and experience the magic of Linux that everyone keeps assuring me of.

[Bug 422174] Re: cannot connect to hidden ssid
This is fucking stupid. Not even my gnome network manager connects to wireless for me now, not even under gnome. Good thing we have 2 major desktop environments, so that none of them works properly, while Windows 7 is pretty much flawless for me. Im a linux advocate and I help out as much as possible, but releasing a major distro with such a show stopper bug is simply lame and depressing. I'm aware I'm trolling, but feedback is feedback, I respect all the devs out there, but Linux can't be taken seriously if I can't do basic stuff as connecting to internet, so things must change. Is there some PPA with a working network manager? -- cannot connect to hidden ssid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-networkmanagement in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 422174] Re: cannot connect to hidden ssid
I can confirm this bug on the stable release of Karmic, with KDE 4.3.4 updates applied. Furthermore, the iwlist wlan0 scan essid hiddenap workaround doesn't work for me. Knetworkmanager simply refuses to acknowledge the existence of the hidden AP even though iwlist sees it. I can't believe this bug is listed as Medium. In my opinion, it is absolutely critical that this be fixed. I can't connect to my hidden University Network because of this bug, and its extremely frustrating. -- cannot connect to hidden ssid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-networkmanagement in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Hi Tony, did you reboot after application of the option?

jpmccarthy, my network uses a hidden ssid, and it WILL stay that way. I'll sooner switch to vista Don't know what to do. Stay with gnome ? Go to an other distri ? sighs.

[Bug 422174] Re: cannot connect to hidden ssid/wpa2
In 9.04 I was able to get the Network Manager applet to see my hidden network by running the following command once: sudo iwlist eth1 scan essid MYHIDDENSSID After running that command I rebooted, and after that I could at least manually select my network after logging in.

I would note that KDE works wirelessly - its hidden networks causing the problem - I broadcasted my SSID (still WPA protected) and it works fine.
