hidden wifi how?

[Genes MailLists]

 I am running F15 fully updated with:

 kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.54.20110812git.nm09.fc15.x86_64

 There is a wifi network which has hidden SSID (I don't like this but it
is there nonetheless). I need to connect to it.

 At one point I could click on a list of hidden networks - at another
point there was a place I could hand type in the hidden SSID - now there
is nothing - it is not showing up in the list and there seems to be no
way to connect to it.

 The network is configured, and password etc are fine when I choose
"manage connections" - however all I can do there is view or edit the
details but not connect.

 So, how do I ask the applet to connect to a known hidden wifi network?

 Thanks!

Unfortunately, connecting to hidden SSIDs is not currently supported, in fact, 
it's been only implemented yesterday :) [1]

I'm planning to do a kde-plasma-networkmanagement snapshot update sometime 
today or tomorrow, stay tuned

When the NM 0.9 package hits the stable updates, kde-plasma-networkmanagement 
recent snapshots depend on it.

  No need to wait for stable - we can download 0.9 NM from koji as well
and test both out of koji can't we?

   If we can use this NM:

    http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=260651

 Then all we need is kde-plasma-networkmanagement in koji as well.

We can't build the new kde-plasma-networkmanagement if we don't have 
NetworkManager 0.9.0 in the buildroot, and Bodhi unhelpfully doesn't allow 
even provenpackagers to submit a buildroot override.

I could probably bother rel-eng, but at this point I think I'll just wait 
for the stable push, the update is now queued.

Any news on this ?

I see failed builds in Koji for

 kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.57.20110907git.nm09.fc15

Is this the right one?

  Q1) Does the install restart the applet or do I need to restart it (or
logoff/logon) ?


  I will test the hidden networks as soon as I can ... which probably
wont be till Monday -

   Thanks for your work!

You need to restart your session after install (for best results anyway).

Ok thanks - I'll report back as soon as I can make/access a hidden AP.

 Running kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.59.20110919git:

  I see the 'hidden network' button is now back -

 (1) I will be able to try it today with a hidden network.

 (2) The 'hidden network' button - doesn't offer a drop down of known
networks - it forces me to type the SSID by hand even if it's a known
SSID I want to connet to - can this be improved, it would be far more
conventient to allow the user to connect to any known network (this is
the way the gnome one (used to) works?

  (3) Also, if NM sees a beacon signal from a hidden network - will the
applet now add that to the list of available networks (perhaps marked
with hidden) ?
