If you're going to look into this, you might want to work with Kubuntu 
Karmic Beta + latest updates.

There's a similar problem re: hidden networks on Kubuntu that I looked 
at earlier in the week.

Checkout the following bug for details:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/444262

I found that a Connection was getting created for the hidden network, 
but that knetwork-manager didn't seem to ever send seem to send an 
ActivateConnection DBUS message to NM ( or if it did, it failed ).
