<br>Hello all.<br><br>I have just gotten around to working with this.<br>I had success starting in Gnome, then connecting to the hidden network. And this kept when I switched back to Sugar.<br>But, when I restarted, the hidden network was still hidden, and I had to do this again.<br>
<br>Is there anyway to make this change permanent?<br>I have tried the instructions on the wiki<br><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wifi_Connectivity#SSID_Network_Name">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wifi_Connectivity#SSID_Network_Name</a><br>
<br>But these instructions do not seem to work.<br><br>What can I do? Again, we are running the laptops on version 10.1.3.<br><br>Many thanks.<br>Gerald<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 7:45 PM, Sridhar Dhanapalan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sridhar@laptop.org.au">sridhar@laptop.org.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
More recent OS builds have Browse and Firefox pick up their settings<br>
from the GNOME settings instead of needing to go to about:config. To<br>
do this, go to System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy.<br>
