Comment 15 for bug 208306

Alexander,
Ok, got fatal errors at gpg stage of build instructions above, however after reading what Matt posted in other bug thread about this same issue, I decided to just ignore the fatal error and continued to next step, step 6 which installed the package.

the branch above in your build instructions does not appear to resolve my connection issue to hidden SSID's.

Then 3 minutes later I see above that you have released a patch to the build servers.....so then 5 minutes later I see that updates are now available, 2 of which are the NM software, so I install the updates again and test again for hidden network SSID's. Sorry, my chipset still does not work with hidden SSID's. I tried with WPA1 and WPA2, no luck at all.

As long as the SSID is being broadcasted, I can connect tho. One more thing I would like to note: signal strength is 50% weaker for 8.04 than it is for 7.10 at the client. I have an AP within feet of the test machine, and I also have a repeater in the same vicinity, I get 100% signal strength/quality for this test machine running 7.10, but only 50% signal strength/quality for 8.04.... of course this is for an exposed SSID.
