Description Gordan Bobic 2013-12-16 14:21:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
The installer provides no way to connect to an invisible network during installation. Selecting a visible network and editing it to change the SSID results in anaconda crashing out with an exception saying the network of the original selected name doesn't exist.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7 beta.

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a WiFi network during installation
2. Change SSID to another, invisible network you want to use during installation
3. Attempt to proceed
