[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#931474: network-manager: does not automatically connect to hidden network

[Daniel Boles]

Dear Maintainer,

I can confirm this problem persists. I have to manually open the GNOME Wi-Fi
Settings and choose "Connect to hidden network", despite that said network
has
"Connect automatically" set.

I removed a previous hidden network, which I'm 99% sure worked fine (but
can't
be 100%), as I read that having multiple hidden networks could confuse the
system. That made no change.

The NM connection page shows:

>>>
Connect automatically with priority 0

Mode: Client
Band: Automatic
Channel: default
BSSID: [empty]
Device: wlan0
Cloned MAC address: [empty]
MTU: automatic bytes

Security: WPA & WPA2 Personal
Password: [saved, works when connected manually]

all other settings blank/default
>>>

Please let me know what else I can provide to help resolve this. Thanks for
all
your work!

Cheers,
Daniel
