Comment(by pierre):

 Yes, you can connect manually to an hidden WiFi network, but my point was
 about connecting automatically. I naively thought that if I make my
 network visible, Sugar would register its parameters and would use it as
 the preferred network for subsequent boots. But that's not the case.

 Moreover, if the XO is connected to the visible network, and then I
 disable SSID broadcast during that Sugar session, it loses the link and
 tries to register to another visible neighbor network.
