Description of problem:
NetworkManager will not connect to a hidden wireless network (no encryption)
with the rt73usb driver.  NM tries to set ap_scan=1, but ap_scan=2 may be
appropriate for this driver.

This could be in the vein of bug 373841 for F8, although rt73usb is mentioned
there as being ok.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.3-svn3623.fc9
kernel-2.6.25.3-18.fc9


How reproducible:
I disabled NetworkManager and used this simple wpa_supplicant.conf to connect to
the hidden wireless network "wahoo":

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=2

network={
    ssid="wahoo"
    scan_ssid=1
    key_mgmt=NONE
    auth_alg=OPEN
}

Varying ap_scan and scan_ssid leads to the following:
ap_scan=2, scan_ssid=1: associates, stable connection
ap_scan=2, scan_ssid=0: associates, then drops after a few seconds
ap_scan=1, scan_ssid=1: no association
ap_scan=1, scan_ssid=0: no association

The contents of /var/log/messages during a NM connection attempt has the
following lines (full log attached):
May 30 19:36:18 laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'scan_ssid' value '1'
May 30 19:36:18 laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Config: set interface ap_scanto 1

Is NM overriding the ap_scan value from wpa_supplicant.conf?
