Jerry and James, Thanks. Both methods work within a session. In GNOME, I can connect to the hidden network. And, if I change back to Sugar, the connection is intact. When I reboot, however, while the Wireless Connections UI (iin either GNOME or Sugar using nm) shows the connection properly, it does not actually connect to the hidden ssid.
Jerry, I have attached the file you requested. Looking forward to making this work.
