Hidden SSID, LE11, RPi2

thx, this worked!

To summerize the workaround:

create a "/storage/.config/system.d/hiddenSSID.service" with following content:

Code

[Unit]
Description=Hidden SSID Connect Service
After=network-online.target connman.service iwd.service
Wants=network-online.target connman.service iwd.service
Before=kodi.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/bin/iwctl --passphrase <PWD> station wlan0 connect-hidden <SSID>
ExecStop=/usr/bin/iwctl station wlan0 disconnect

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Display More

enable the service in ssh with "systemctl enable hiddenSSID.service".

That was it, the next reboot Raspi should connect to your hidden network.

Can you drop the connman.service/iwd.service from the file and then run "systemctl daemon-reload" before rebooting? .. still working?

If yes I will write it up for the wiki.
