There is another connected bug, not only for hidden wifi, but also for
regular wifi connections, they simply don't appear in the applet list
and the system does not auto connect as it should do.

This workaround I found yesterday works:

`sudo iwlist wlan0 scan`

where `wlan0` is the name of your wireless interface.

Doing this all wifi networks are back there and the system auto
connects.
