Bug Description

this bug could be with TESTCASE itself & not what I've filed against. Install attempted on
- sony vaio ultrabook svp11216cgb (i5-9400u, 4gb, intel haswell-ULT)

The 1811 (https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/450/builds/311610/testcases/1811/results/) testcase requires me to use lubuntu-installer-prompt to connect to wifi.. HOWEVER I had no such option on this wifi-only device.. I had no options in drop-down; nothing I could select.

I can connect to wifi correctly (thus was filed using ubuntu-bug on device) but only after LIVE session was fully-running and I can thus use nm-tray.. however I had no such option available at lubuntu-installer-prompt as mandated by install QA testcase).

Of note, when I start `nm-tray` on the [fully-running] live session and open up dialog, no device options exist there either.. I need to click '+' to ADD... thus what I see in lubuntu-installer-prompt doesn't worry (surprise) me...

If it wasn't for testcase; I'd just connect to wifi using nm-tray (adding wifi device) & then start calamares to install.

Importance of this bug is ~null (its petty).

I booted current daily on
- samsung 700t1c-p10aat (i5-3317u, 4gb, 3rd gen.core.intel.graphics.4000)

and whilst it offered various (neighbor) wifi connections; it did not show my own (silent), so I'd not have been able to complete testcase on this device either

this is another wifi only device; but options available in lubuntu-installer-prompt are device specific; and hidden-ssid networks appear not to be offered in selection.

Testcase could be modified to say some devices, or those with hidden-ssid's may need to start session first; connect to wifi then start calamares.

hmm, yes, lubuntu-installer-prompt (and kubuntu-installer-prompt) do not support hidden-SSID WiFi networks. The intention was that for those kinds of advanced network things, one would drop to a live session with the "Try" button, allowing them to use NetworkManager's full feature set.

That being said, perhaps hidden-SSID networks aren't *that* advanced. I don't think adding support for them is something we should add to Noble, and it arguably will require a FFe in Oracular, but it's not a bad idea.
