Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.4.1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Hi, This is a new installation of debian wheezy, up to date, default desktop
Gnome 3.0
When i tried to connect to my office wireless network that is hidden (WPA
security), i just could'nt found any gui option in the network manager applet.

Logging out going to gnome classic and using the applet there is a workaround,
in gnome classic the option to connect to hidden wireless network appears with
no problem.
Also the Gui in the gnome desktop doesn't show as many options as the Gui in
the classic mode.
For a new user this can render the wifi unusable and cause confusion.
