           Summary: KNetworkManager doesn't find hidden-SSID networks
           Product: knetworkmanager
           Version: 0.9
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: wstephenson@kde.org
        ReportedBy: spillner@kde.org


Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

I've manually configured a wireless connection to SSID Foobar which is not
shown in the list of connections by default. It then appears in the connection
list as "insecure" network with unspecified signal strength despite being a
WPA2 connection with good signal. It does not appear in the list of configured
profiles in the tray menu and therefore cannot be activated. So it seems to me
that hidden-SSID networks are not supported and I need to continue using my
handcrafted wpa_supplicant wrapper script with scan_ssid=1 :(

Reproducible: Didn't try
