I confirme this. I run hardy alpha3. It works well on gutsy.
I have the same intel abg wireless card. I can connect to my wpa protected AP. But I can't connect to an unsecured AP with hidden ssid.
I'll try with a RaLink based usb dongle soon, in order to know if this is a trouble with ipw3935 driver or an other thing.

Using network manager, it stay in "connecting" state for a while. So I just tried it using only iwconfig, and I can see this intersting result in /var/log/syslog :

It show "AP denied association (code=10)". So I think that the card send a wrong association query.
