[feature request] Support connection to hidden WLAN in WLAN Setup (Wifi)
When doing WiFi setup, currently it is only possible to choose from available visible networks. To connect to hidden WiFi network, user shall manually edit network configuration file from the terminal - and this is for geeks, not for an average user.
It would be nice to add an option of configuring access to hidden WiFi network in Settings -> Connections -> WiFi
Many people are using hidden WiFi networks at their homes. The hotel where I frequently stay while travelling on business also has only hidden WiFi network. So this is an important use case. Besides, it shall be pretty easy and straightforward to implement.
I can connect to my work's hidden network without any terminal skills. I just had to wait a few seconds until I had the choose to connect to a hidden network. Then I only had to put the SSID name of the network and the password.

It worked fine until a few weeks ago, but now only sees the network about a third of the time, and requires that I forget the network and re-configure it every time I want to connect.
Problem with Tahkalampi 1.0.8.21?
