Comment 7 for bug 83652

yes, I'd say file a bug against NM. it should perhaps make this configurable or at least know how to handle hidden ssids with what backend drivers. This however would assume that NM knows ,amy implementation details about the inner workings of wpa_supplicant, and what bugs are in what version. I have doubts that the NM developers are willing to maintain such a database.

In the end, I really do think that it's much less trouble to not disable SSID broadcasts.
