Comment 9 for bug 330811

I wasn't able to make knetworkmanager connect automaticly either on my quick test. Actually I wasn't able to make it to connect at all...

I wonder if this bug is limited to some specific hardware, since it doesn't seem to affect a lot of people. (Not that I would have any idea how many people are already using the beta and how many of them have their a wireless network hidden...) But anyway, I'm using:

Access Point: Buffalo WHR-G54S (with dd-wrt + WPA mixed PSK)
Client: Thinkpad R50e (with Intel 2200BG [Calexica2] which uses the ipw2200 module)

I also had to reconfigure my network in plasma-widget-network-manager a while back to be able to use the iwconfig trick mentioned earlier. I don't remember what upgrades I got before that, but I don't think that the plasma widget got an upgrade back then...
