Bug Description
Ubuntu 14.10 r22
1. Navigate to System Settings > "Wi-Fi".
2. If Wi-Fi is on, turn it off.
What you see: The "Other network" item (which should be "Connect to hidden network") is still present.
What you should see: The item should not be there, because it's impossible to connect while Wi-Fi is off.
<https:/
[Discovered during usability testing: one participant went to "Other network", trying to connect, despite Wi-Fi being off.]

On system-settings side, the other network should be made insensitive when wifi is off.
Jussi wrote the original code, so he probably is most qualified to fix this bug.
