Comment 10 for bug 444262

I'm not sure about this current issue, but at release in 9.04 I was able to get the wireless to connect to my hidden SSID by connecting to it in Gnome or from the command line prior to logging in to kdm. I guess it just recognized the current connection that way. I don't have them installed side by side currently, I figured that doing so wouldn't be a very good test.

So are you saying you connected to a hidden wireless network booting off the live CD instead of having Kubuntu actually installed?
