networkmanager-0.9.8.9 will not connect to wifi with non-broadcast ssid

[John Frankish <j-frankish slb com>]

I've been trying to connect to a wap that does not broadcast the ssid for a while without success.

Using the same setup with wpa_supplicant manually works using the wpa_supplicant.conf below.

Apparently "scan_ssid=1" is required for non-broadcast ssid (and perhaps also ap_scan=2).

I cannot find where networkmanager/network-manager-applet stores the wpa_supplicant.conf to check if it is 
using scan_ssid=1, is there a way to find out?

The connection details are also copied below and the networkmanager debug output attached - maybe 
networkmanager doesn't wait long enough to connect?

Regards
John
