 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) ?
