Alexander,
I am truly sorry, I cannot. The computer I have the problem with is a production machine, not a test machine. Its my Girl Friends work computer, I simply cannot take a work computer out of commission for beta testing as much as I really would like to try to provide you feed back on so this issue can be fixed. Thats the first problem.
The second problem is that I'm totally clueless as to what you need me
to do to test your patch, I read every post you guys have made for the
last several days and I simply do not know enough about linux to know
how to get the patch installed or even know if messed up during the
process. I can however install a .deb package...duh, like its something
troublesome or complicated :) but as I did not see anyone asking for deb
packages from you to try, I have been just hoping that someone with my
same chipset will provide you the needed feedback. I'm sorry, I don't
know how to do as you ask and feel you are trying at the moment and
don't want to interfere with your efforts by asking for special just for
me.
I do have another computer I can test with tho that has a different
chipset that has the very same hidden SSID problem, however I still have
the same problem, I don't know how to install a patch if it is not
delivered in a deb package.....
I would love to help and provide feed back ( I love testing things out )
if I only knew how to install your patch. Just so you know, I really
did try, I'm not a dummy, I just can't figure out the linux way of doing
things, I guess I spent too many years in windows.
production machine: Dell C800 with prism54 wireless pcmcia card does not
yet work except for what Dave Ward helped out with several months back,
there were still problems with his patch tho. no automatic re-connection
etc.
other testable machine I CAN test on has atheros wifi card. but as I
said, I know nothing about patches.

Bug description:
Since I installed dapper clean from CD, NM won't connect to my own hidden network., however it did before. The network was even in the list after a few seconds, the new feature of reverse mac scanning in 0.6.2.
Now even if I use "connect to other network" and I enter everything in there, the connection won't be a success. Not hiding the SSID solves the problem immediately, just as manually connecting to the AP with iwconfig eth1 essid <mine> ...
