Network manager applet never displays connection...

[Justin C.]

I'm running lucid 10.04 on my netbook (regular desktop distro though). I enabled the proprietary drivers needed to get wireless working (I have an hp mini 110 by the way), but the applet in the taskbar will never show a connection, even if it is connected. Any suggestions to solve this?

Thanks,

I figured it out. Ubuntu will never display a connection to hidden wifi networks, but will show connection to regular networks.
