Can't connect through wireless!

Sorry to bring up an old thread but after all this time I found a solution! Even with 11.4, opensuse still could not connect to my hidden ssid no matter what I did…until I read this:
Hidden SSID Wifi on 11.3 KDE NetworkManager

After waiting about 30 seconds, my taskbar showed the icon thinking and finally the green check and then the icon showing it’s connected!

Glad to hear it works for You as well too bad the bug is still here but I’m guessing that’s an upstream issue. Too bad it took so long for You to find that workaround and for me to find this thread.

Best regards,
Greg

Any idea of a link to that bug so I can also submit my experience to it (on opensuse’s bugzilla)?

LOL, yeah it took a long time but in a sense it worked out because it forced me to use Fedora on my netbook which meant I got to learn a different way of working with rpm’s, updates, etc. So I learned more than if I’d had openSUSE on all my computers.

Thanks again for your workaround/fix!

You’re most welcome. Actually this workaround was initially posted by someone else. Don’t remember now exactly

I’m not sure but I guess this might be the bug :
Bug 541009 - Network manager doesn’t connect to hidden SSID network
