@Mello
- sorry, but you cannot name it workaround.

Workaround would be fine, if it would allow me modfity something on MY Ubuntu/Laptop and connect to WLAN with hidden SSID.
You proposal is about changing sometihng that is outside of MY Ubuntu/Laptop - so usually out of my control.
For example - at my office I can not change the corporate security policy to unhide SSIDs in whole building, because just I want to use Ubuntu...
Thus this bug - and if not repaired, it's gonna to prevent me from using Ubuntu, cause I have to have working WLANs with hidden SSIDs on my laptop at work, so I'm going to consider switching back to old, good debian or just boot the Windows unfortunatelly.

So,
anyone - please help with this bug, cause I like Ubuntu and this problem with hidden SSIDs WLAN connections is really painful.

Reagrds,
Kris
