[off topic] SSID hidding is in NO situation a good way to defend yourself. Its quite easy to either listen to packets or injecting packets to find out the real SSID even if hidden. Its as secure as wep or mac address filtering. And it causes lots of problems when roaming between wifi nodes. If hardware capable please migrate to WPA/WPA2 and a proper password scheme. [/off topic] Still this does not neglet the fact that Ubuntu should, and is working for some ppl, when it encounters an hidden SSID WiFi network. -- BUGabundo :o) (``-_-ยดยด) http://Ubuntu.BUGabundo.net Linux user #443786 GPG key 1024D/A1784EBB My new micro-blog @ http://BUGabundo.net ps.
