Package: network-manager-gnome Version: 0.9.4.1-1+b1 Severity: important I've just done a fresh install of wheezy using the beta1 DVD for amd64 It has the gnome desktop When I click the network icon at the top right hand corner of the screen, I can see the list of wifi networks However, there is no longer an option to configure a hidden wifi network manually. Such an option existed in squeeze. If I right click the icon at the top right corner, it displays the same menu that I get form a left click. This is different from the behavior under squeeze, which gives different menus for left and right click. If I click the `Network Settings' option, it puts me in the settings window. the `Options...' button is gray, and I can't find any way to add a hidden wireless network. (also, I understand hidden SSID is not a significant security mechanism, but this is not an unusual configuration and many of them exist)
