I have the same problem now with a fresh installation of Lucid on my Laptop. I can only connect to an AP with SSID been broadcasted.
The argument that turning off the SSID broadcast is against the standard is not a good argument. When your AP does not support WPA because it is to old, the best method to get a little bit security is use a hidden SSID and a MAC filter if it exists. At this time the AP is placed in the basement with a very limited reach of action. WEP is so insecure that i let the AP in unsecure mode. I have all the needed configuration data, but there is no way to establish a connection. What must be done to try a manual connection on the shell with a given SSID? -- Hidden SSID still not work in 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576992 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
