Description Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-10-26 18:17:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
I am trying to set up the wifi connection with my network which has a hidden SSID.
I remember this being not so trivial under F15, but under F16 I just don't seem to be able to find the way.
Is the option still present ? Did I miss something ?
I check the network settings but  I don't have much options (and even less options that I can use).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q NetworkManager
NetworkManager-0.9.1.90-4.git20110927.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to connect to a network with a hidden SSID
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Can't find the option

Expected results:
A button somewhere which offers me the possibility to set up a connection with to non-detected wifi network.

Additional info:
I am filling this against NetworkManager but feel free to reassign it somewhere else if it should.
