This looks just too obvious, so it is probably not the answer. Do you have "scan_ssid=1" in the network definition in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf? It is required for unadvertised APs, even if the ssid is specified. Here is the (sanitized) entry for my home net which does not advertise (WEP, not WPA): network={ ssid="xyz1234" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=NONE wep_key0=0123456789ABCDEF0123456789 wep_tx_keyidx=0 } -- R.
