Turning off your SSID broadcast greatly complicates the process of
connecting to the AP and provides _NOTHING_ to the security. With a
packet sniffer such as kismet or wireshark, I can get your SSID within
30 seconds even if it is hidden.

If you want to keep it hidden and use NetworkManager, you need to
research how to connect under those conditions.
