NetworkManager does not automatically reconnect to hidden Wi-Fi network after reboot -- Intel WiFi Link 5100 iwlagn

[Hiker Hauk]

Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha, up-to-date. Network Manager cannot connect to my AP. Due to security considerations, my AP does not broadcast its ID. 8.04, 8.10 and 9.04 are all fine with it, the first time I connect to it via the menu "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network...", then it will automatically reconnect to it upon boot up. 9.10 won't connect to it automatically 9 out of 10 times. I can only use the menu.

Can you please re-test with the latest updates posted last night? I just ran through this scenario and it worked just fine for me ( ie. auto-connect to a hidden SSID ).

FYI, the versions uploaded last night are:

network-manager 0.8~a~git.20091005t192303.1d28ad1-0ubuntu2
network-manager-gnome 0.8~a~git.20091002t194214.8515a07-0ubuntu1

Yes, the update solved this for me.

fixed in last update.

It happened today again trice (100% rate). Maybe it just lowered the rate or I got luck yesterday. This is still not fixed.

Can you run the following command from a terminal to give us more data to work with:
