I have jaunty beta installed on a IBM T40 (Intel iw2100 wireless)

Kernel: 2.6.28-11-generic
all updates installed.

I can not connect to WPA hidden wireless network. After unhiding the network, connection works.

I have no chance of checking if this is related to the explicit router or network adapter.

[crashcookie (crashcookie)]

same problem here with a fresh jaunty install

Same problem with Jaunty (both ubuntu/xubuntu). Cannot connect to a hidden AP with WPA/WPA2 security

Worked perfectly on Hardy/Intrepid

[jacknjill111 (jacknjill111)]

I'm facing the same problem with an unsecured (only secured by mac addresses) access point. It can see a bunch of wireless access points and even the hidden unsecured access point. But it cannot connect to it. When the access point is broadcasted, the wireless card can correct

iwl3945 (Intel pro/wireless 3945ABG); Intel Dell Vostro 1500

I'm hoping this bug is fixed quick

Thanks,

This might have something to do with this:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0904.3/01186.html
?
I suffer the same problem... even with not hidden access point.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

these kind of issues are usually driver bugs. please check latest kernel packages from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

If the problem persists, attach outpuf of lspci -vv lsusb and your complete syslog after reproducing.

[GercoKees (gercokees)]

I did not test this, but according to the changelog:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc4/CHANGES
and this mail:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0904.3/01186.html
This should be fixed in v2.6.30-rc4

[mabawsa (mabawsa)]

I cannot connect to any hidden networks in Jaunty.

Linux glitterbox 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:55:09 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Tried the new kernel but it breaks the wireless and sound.

I'm using 2.6.30-020630-generic #020630 SMP Wed Jun 10 09:04:38 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux but it is still not working with a hidden network. After enabling the SSID broadcast it works.
