[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#685224: can't configure for hidden SSID wlan

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.4.1-1+b1
Severity: important

I've just done a fresh install of wheezy using the beta1 DVD for amd64

It has the gnome desktop

When I click the network icon at the top right hand corner of the
screen, I can see the list of wifi networks

However, there is no longer an option to configure a hidden wifi network
manually.  Such an option existed in squeeze.

If I right click the icon at the top right corner, it displays the same
menu that I get form a left click.  This is different from the behavior
under squeeze, which gives different menus for left and right click.

If I click the `Network Settings' option, it puts me in the settings
window.  the `Options...' button is gray, and I can't find any way to
add a hidden wireless network.

(also, I understand hidden SSID is not a significant security mechanism,
but this is not an unusual configuration and many of them exist)
