Good point. I have seen cases where people have forgotten that AP uses
hidden SSID and our UI does not show hidden SSIDs so they just think
something is broken. In that case the user has to create the
connection manually through Connectivity Control Panel Applet.

But my recommendation is not to use hidden SSID. It does not improve
security in any way and makes more difficult to implement WLAN drivers
(scanning is more complicated etc.). 

Jeffrey, I'm also interested details about your AP and it's settings.
Please describe more about your setup.
