Jerry and James,<br><br>Thanks.<br>Both methods work within a session. <br>In GNOME, I can connect to the hidden network. And, if I change back to Sugar, the connection is intact.<br>When I reboot, however, while the Wireless Connections UI (iin either GNOME or Sugar using nm) shows the connection properly, it does not actually connect to the hidden ssid.<br>
<br>Jerry, I have attached the file you requested.<br><br>Looking forward to making this work.<br>Gerald<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 9:10 PM, Jerry Vonau <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jvonau@shaw.ca">jvonau@shaw.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Fire up the nm-connection-editor before you reboot, Find the connection<br>
under the wireless tab, tick both "Connect automatically" and "Available<br>
to all users". This creates a file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts,<br>
forcing NM to bring up the connection on boot, before the UI loads and<br>
should be available in both Sugar and Gnome. You don't need to go into<br>
gnome to run the tool, in terminal: nm-connection-editor If you could<br>
send me the resulting ifcfg file from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts,<br>
I'd be grateful for the example.<br>
