>Description:
If wireless connection is marked hidden freebsd 10 is unable to connect.
/etc/rc.conf:
wlans_iwn0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf contains:
network={
ssid="mywifi"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="hello nsa"

If wireless is not hidden, i can connect with no problems. Same configuration worked with Freebsd 9.1.

Uncheck "broadcast network name" (or something similar) from wifi-box and try to connect using freebsd 10.
