Comment 9 for bug 388116

I installed WICD 1.6.2.2 today on my Ubuntu laptop.
I noticed that the following code (from Adam Blackburn's post #3) was already added to "wicd-daemon.py" in this version:
        if cur_network["hidden"]:
            if cur_network.get("essid") in ["", "Hidden", "<hidden>", None]:
                cur_network["essid"] = "<hidden>"
            else:
                cur_network['essid'] = self.config.get(section, 'essid')

The problem is that the code does not work for me (I have AP with hidden essid). I am not sure why condition "if cur_network.get("essid") in ["", "Hidden", "<hidden>", None]:" is necessary at all.

I changed it like Stephen Hall advised in post #7 and it works OK.
        if cur_network["hidden"]:
                cur_network['essid'] = self.config.get(section, 'essid')
