Not resolved for SuSE

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #223421 +++

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

Knetworkmanager will connect to any broadcasting network.  It will not connect to a hidden(non broadcasting) encrypted network.  I am using a 64 bit hex key on a hidden wireless network and it will not connect.  I am using openSuse 11.2.  It will connect to a broadcasting unencrypted network. When I use the Gnome desktop I have no problems.

Have you recreated the connection using the <hidden network> item in connection list?

Comment 3 Lamarque V. Souza 2011-09-12 04:36:22 UTC 
This fix is only for branch nm09 only. Have you upgraded to a newer snapshot of Plasma NM and used the <hidden network> item?
