I am running a D-link G650 with following drivers:
madwifi-0.9.3-29_r1754.fc6.at

I tried as you suggest for connecting to a network that is not
broadcasting: it doesn't work, but after googling, it seems that has
been reported in the Network Manager mailing list.
This is quite annoying in a safe environment, where SSID is disabled
(not here in the almost countryside... ;-)  )

I note also that after some disconnecting and automatic re-connecting,
automatic re-connecting stops working

I know that Network Manager people is working on these issues.

Tnx anyway
