Bug Description
Binary package hint: plasma-
== SRU for 0.0+svn966653-
This SRU covers this bug, bug 334052 as well as numerous other small fixes.
Testcase for this bug:
Manually add a hidden wireless network in the setting; test that this network now shows up and connecting to it is possible. (Restart may be required)
Testcase for bug 334052:
Successfully connect to a WPA-2/enterprise network.
The above is of course dependent on that the underlying encryption methods etc. does actually work. Currently both of the above fail in all cases; so a working for some people is a success.
== Original description ==
I installed Jaynty's Alpha4 (Kubuntu) on my laptop for testing + all the current updates, and I can't connect to a hidden network.
If I put the network visible, the widget connects automaticly as configured. It keeps working if I hide the network, but after that it doesn't connect if I have to reboot my laptop.

This still happens with the latest release (0.0+svn930811- 0ubuntu1) .
I managed to get the hidden wireless network working by giving the system a little hint: from konsole I used iwconfig to set the essid of my hidden network for the wireless interface, and few moments after that kwallet pops up and plasma- widget- network- manager connected to my network normally.
So it seems that hidden networks isn't searched by plasma- widget- network- manager even if they are manually configured and saved in the settings. (And in fact, the plasma- widget- network- manager doesn't show found hidden networks, but that was the case even with the old network manager from KDE 3.5.x.)
