Im having problems connecting to Hidden WIFI networks on my RHEL 7 beta. I have an HP Elitebook 2560p. But if I make the Wireless Access Point visible, im able to connect to it, and NM is able to save the connection script under "/sysconfig/network-scripts". I tried on 3 different Hidden Networks,
The solution was to manually create the connection script in "/sysconfig/network-scripts".after copying one from a network I had connected to. That's when the hidden wireless became visible and im now connected. But is this the way one needs to connect to a hidden Wireless? I thought having SSID, security type and password were sufficient.

What if you take NetworkManager out of the picture and use wpa_supplicant with systemd.
I have a page on testing whether it's NetworkManager or something else at

Although others have mentioned that NM is much better than it was in RHEL6, judging from Fedora forums at least, it can still cause problems.
