XO: Network Manager and hidden ESSID

Hello,

it seems that there are problems with hidden ESSID on encrypted networks 
(WEB and WPA/WPA2).

When I select "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network" and enter correct 
connection parameters I end with "Activation (eth0/wireless): 
association took too long" in /var/log/messages. Displayed dialog asking 
for new secrets does not contain WPA/WPA2. NM stores wireless network info.

However, when I cancel the dialog and click on (now visible) hidden 
ESSID, I get correct dialog asking for secrets and connection is 
successfully completed.

There is already a bug 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448437 for an older version 
of NM.

Can anyone confirm that it's not an XO specific bug?

Thanks,

Ludek
