This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.6.6-0ubuntu4

---------------
network-manager (0.6.6-0ubuntu4) hardy; urgency=low

  * fix hidden networks for chipsets that do not have scan_capa enabled
    driver. (LP: #50214, #200950, #203793, #199679). The following
    behaviour is now implemented:
      * use scan_ssid 1 with AP_SCAN 1 for all scan_capa_ssid drivers
      * use scan_ssid 1 with AP_SCAN 1 for all drivers with buggy
        scan_capa_ssid and buggy ap_scan and explicitly set essid through
        wireless extensions to help driver to find bssids of hidden ssid
          Drivers with buggy scan_capa_ssid: ipw2200
          Drivers with buggy ap_scan 2: iwl3945, iwl4965
      * use AP_SCAN 2 for all other drivers and set essid through wireless
        extensions forcefully.
        - update debian/patches/42b_fix_ap_scan_hidden.patch
    - add debian/patches/42b_fix_ap_scan_hidden.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
