I strongly DISAGREE ! this bug is one bug only. Its a bug report for people that are trying to wirelessly connect to hidden SSID's , and can't. Thats all this bug is about. if you cannot cannot to a hidden SSID then this is where it should be reported. just because you have a different chipset than the next guy makes no difference. Developers may choose to consider each chipset a different bug report, but do not make it a hassle for users to report their bugs.
By trying to open a new bug report for each chipset hides the fact that no one can connect to a hidden SSID and THAT is common to all the people here. it also makes it hard to see that Ubuntu has known about this wireless problem for over 2 years now and does not appear to be any closer to fixing now. there is only only thing that will happen if this bug starts to get reported as some other bug, it won't get fixed. To follow the suggestion above will only server to keep this as an isolated bug for individual wireless users. This 2 year old bug shows that many many users are having this issue, I tried to get this bug addresed for hardy 8.04 by sending emails to any dev emails I could find but all I got was ignored.
