"This problem existed pre-Karmic and as such should not be considered a 
regression":
I can't agree on that without saying a word... This problem in fact didn't 
exist pre karmic... I used to be able to connect correctly before karmic (In 
jaunty it worked perfectly... I used this almost every day...) and until 
middle/late (I can't remember exactly wich) karmic alphas it worked ok... It is 
indeed a regression! And a serious one... Think of all the college students who 
want to connect to eduroam network and whose default implementation tipically 
involves hidding the network...

"NM should automatically re-connect a hidden network that's been previously 
connected":
On this I agree... But this in fact never worked reliably for me... This is not 
a regression and in fact it is not so serious...

"the plan was to try and get 0.8~rc2 released as an SRU for Karmic"
If we ever want Ubuntu to beat or at least match windows this sort of bugs 
can't happen...When they do happen, they should be fixed... I'm tired of having 
to reintroduce my password every day or even several times a day... Going from 
an alpha release of network manager to an rc version with lots of bugs 
corrected should be possible without question... These are the kind of bugs 
that also keep users away...

Please see this report in a constructive and respectfull way... I try to
help this project with bug reporting and testing because I believe my
(small) contribution can lead to a better product and it is my way of
"paying" for the hard work the developers put on it.
