Running Kubuntu Jaunty Alpha 6 it is still impossible to connect to networks with hidden SSID. When unhidding the SSID plasma-widget-network-manager connects okay as described TuxFan.

I believe that the that the KDE bug mentioned by Jonathan is slightly different, when the network isn't listed running nm-tool. But I found that as soon an attempt to connect e.g. by the wpa_supplicant CLI tool, the hidden SSID is listed by the nm-tool.

BTW. Still in Alpha 6 as mentioned in bug #338973, installing the network-manager-gnome applet connections to hidden networks is possible. Hopefully there will be a solution to this bug, marked as "low importance" soon. Isn't network connection a must for most desktop computers today ?
