Comment 40 for bug 422174

I'm having the same issue. I just downloaded Kubuntu at the suggestion of my College Instructor. I run a hidden wireless network, and can't login. I pkill'd knetworkmanager, and enabled nm-applet. nm-applet sees the hidden network with no issue. I have went back and forth to try and get knetworkmanager to work using iwlist scan wlan0 ssid to no avail.
I'm a Windows user as its what I started with... I have gone back and forth to Linux and always seem to find myself stepping back towards MS. I guess what I'm saying... is that the learning curve is tough enough, you would think something as basic as this issue is... would be resolved quickly. I hope to stick it out and experience the magic of "Linux" that everyone keeps assuring me of.

Thanks!
