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
