SSID disabled=no Wi-Fi connection with ROM 2.26 on MDA?

[ePhonite]

I have lost the ability to connect to my Wi-Fi access point with SSID broadcast disabled after upgrading the ROM. With the original T-Mobile ROM my MDA could connect w/o any problems to the same access point. I can of course connect after enabling SSID broadcast but I'd rather not broadcast the SSID. WiFiFoFum can see the network regardless of the SSID broadcast setting.

Ideas..? Anything I'm missing..?

Solved:
Enable SSID broadcast on the access point, connect with the MDA to the access point, turn the MDA WiFi radio off, disable SSID broadcast on the access point. From this point on the MDA will connect to the same access point with the SSID broadcast disabled.

Another solution is to create the network connection manually in Settings/Network Cards. If you go this route, you don't need to turn on SSID broadcast on your AP.

Thanx!
I know that and I did try it, but it wouldn't stick - it would say "available" then "connecting" and then revert to "unavailable." No idea why - the original T-Mobile USA ROM did work exactly the way you have described.

Same. I tried connecting continuously to my wifi network and couldn't till broadcasting was enabled. After I turned it off, it worked well too.
