[Bug 833312] Re: Can not connect to hidden wireless network

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

To address my previous point, the specification for the "Connect to the
Internet" step now moves authentication to a standard wi-fi
authentication dialog that appears when you choose "Connect...". That
way, subtleties like password length checking (and even non-password
authentication) don't need to be reimplemented inside Ubiquity.

** Description changed:

  When installing Ubuntu, I'd like to use the option "Download updates
  while installing". However, I use a hidden wireless network at home,
  which I can not connect to using Ubiquity. This option is should be
  considered for the installer.

+ "If the selected network does require authentication, Network Manager’s
+ standard dialog should open for you to enter those authentication
+ details as soon as you choose “Connect…”."
