Hi Basilio,

I have been following the bug #50214 you mention for several K/Ubuntu releases, as it has a lot of good info regarding NM and hidden WPA networks - thanks to the work of Alexander Sack, who seems to be rather structured in solving the problems.
The workaround you mention is one I've used for years, even in none K/Ubuntu distros without NM, as its a fast an sure winner whenever NM doesn't work - I've used this workaround since Hardy Alpha 6, where the NM 0.6.6 stopped working on all the wireless adapers I'm testing (Intel, Atheros, Zyxel, Netgear and Cisco), when I have to download the NM 0.6.5 packages mentioned in my description above...

Tanks anyway, I hope the NM 0.6.6 is going to even more mature (supporting even more adapters) than the K/Ubuntu patched NM 0.6.5 did just before Gutsy was released.
