Not sure what to suggest here. What wireless card and what driver?

Click "Connect to Other Wireless Network" in the drop-down menu and fill
in the SSID.
I am running a D-link G650 with following drivers:
madwifi-0.9.3-29_r1754.fc6.at
I tried as you suggest for connecting to a network that is not
broadcasting: it doesn't work, but after googling, it seems that has
been reported in the Network Manager mailing list.
This is quite annoying in a safe environment, where SSID is disabled
(not here in the almost countryside... ;-) )
I find it sometimes takes a few tries, possibly restarting NM in between.
But I've eventaully gotten it working (with ipw2200, though)
I note also that after some disconnecting and automatic re-connecting,
automatic re-connecting stops working
I know that Network Manager people is working on these issues.
Track them on the network-manager list (http://mail.gnome.org/). You
could also build NM from CVS with help from there. I used to do this, but
haven't kept up recently.
Tnx anyway
