iwl4965 refuses to connect to hidden access points until 3 minutes have elapsed

[Jason Young]

I'm running a Lenovo T61 on ubuntu Gutsy Beta. I have updated the linux-ubuntu-modules to the newest version as of this submission (2.6.22-14.37). When I attempt to connect to a hidden wifi point run by my college it will not connect (when using Network Manager) and eventually Network Manager will stop attempting to join. At this point I can then go and tell it once again to connect to the AP and it does so perfectly. It takes around 3 minutes to get it to connect to this hidden AP. For the record, this same combo of software/hardware will connect flawlessly with my home router running WPA2.

This shouldn't be relevant, but I'm using the network manager package from Bug #144140 located at http://ppa.launchpad.net/asac/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/ . Even when I attempt to manually connect to this AP, however, it still seems to have the same problem, so I suspect that it is a driver issue. I will attach the dmesg output shortly.

This is my dmesg from the first 'wlan0' line. Please note that it includes from when the network manager automatically connected to another AP in range of my card but I still have the same problem regardless of this initial connection.

This is my dmesg output after loading the module with the debug flag.

iwlwifi 1.2.0 is the upstream version from Intel.
