[Broadcom BCM4315] Cannot connect to hidden SSID network

[Darren Worrall]

Binary package hint: network-manager

Wasnt sure how to report this, so apologies if I've gotten it wrong. Similar to bug 200950 , but relating to a different driver. Using Intrepid, as in that bug report, I am unable to connect to a hidden SSID network, and NetworkManager reports:

NetworkManager: <info> eth1: driver is 'wl'.
NetworkManager: <info> eth1: driver does not support SSID scans (scan_capa 0x00)

Let me know what you need. Thanks :)

I've had the same issue with my BCM4328.
Applying this patch fixed it.
