Subject of the issue

I have a hidden wifi network to which I would like to connect my raspi. With a scan, there is no way to try to connect to him. So I turned on the SSID broadcasting and I connected my raspi to him. Then, I stopped the SSID broadcasting, I disconnected my raspi and try to reconnect him to my hidden wifi : it didn't work.

Your environment

  • Raspberry Pi hardware : RPI 2 with a wifi dongle
  • Raspbian version : raspbian buster
  • Followed the project prerequisites? Y
  • Checked the project FAQ? Y
  • RaspAP Quick Install or Manual setup? manual setup
  • Using default configuration? Y
  • Simultaneous AP and managed mode? N
  • Other software or services running with RaspAP? Bind

Expected behavior

1 - When launching a scan, the hidden wifi should be shown with no SSID, or they are hidden but with a button to connect to one of them, like in a previous version of raspap-webgui.
2 - When a configuration to a wifi is stored, even if it become hidden, we should be able to still connect to him with the stored configuration.

Actual behavior

1 - No possibility to connect to a hidden wifi : they are not shown, there is no button to connect to a hidden network
2 - When trying to connect to a known wifi which became hidden, it's impossible to connect to him

Thank you :)

according to the docs:
For finding networks using hidden SSID, scan_ssid=1 in the network block can be used with nl80211.

and

scan_ssid:
	0 = do not scan this SSID with specific Probe Request frames (default)
	1 = scan with SSID-specific Probe Request frames (this can be used to
	    find APs that do not accept broadcast SSID or use multiple SSIDs;
	    this will add latency to scanning, so enable this only when needed)
