Hello again,<br><br>I am just getting back to this.<br><br>I have tried the instructions on the wiki at:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wifi_Connectivity#SSID_Network_Name" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wifi_Connectivity#SSID_Network_Name</a><br>
<br>
But these instructions do not seem to work. After making the changes, nothing shows up in the Neighborhood view.<br><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><br>What can I do? Again, we are running the laptops on version 10.1.3.<br><br>Many thanks.<br><font color="#888888">Gerald</font><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 5:12 PM, Dr. Gerald Ardito <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gerald.ardito@gmail.com">gerald.ardito@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>If this is a newer image, one based on F11 then you should be able to<br>
use nmcli to connect. Take a look at this page.<br>

Hope that helps. My grandma would still hack it in 2 seconds though :-)<br>
