uuklanger, yes I have broadcast enabled.... I'd noticed elsewhere that this was recommended for 8.10, and while I was trying to diagnose my issue I turned on broadcast and left it that way. I think I saw a different bug report related to this.

All I can say is that the new NetworkManager (and if you're using Atheros chipset, the new ath9k driver) seems to have be a bit challenging.

I'm reasonably stable now, albeit with a single core enabled. The ath9k driver reports 1MBps, but this is incorrect. If you examine your syslog, you may see periodic roaming events.... there's some bug reports related to this. About every 30 minutes I get a half-dozen "roamed to (none)" and back again, which makes wireless streaming a bit difficult.

I expect the broadcast issue will be fixed in due course and you'll be able to hide your AP again.
