I have found that if I set the essid manually while it keeps circling, it will connect: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid my-hidden-essid
So it seems that n-m configures the card wrongly, it sets the essid to nothing instead of to the hidden name. -- nm-applet doesn't remember keys for hidden essid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128511 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
