Ubuntu Wireless SSID configuration problem on DELL Latitude D420

I have tested a lot of times for Ubuntu wireless configuration on DELL Latitude D420.
It’s very strange that Ubuntu cann’t recognize hidden broadcast SSID althought I had input correct SSID and WPA2 key.
I didn’t think this would be a problem, even tried NDIS(deleted later), but after I changed my SSID configuration two days late, the error was gone, I could visit Internet after DHCP.
Hidden SSID problem wasted my two nights to solve and verify.
Maybe Ubuntu next version(V8.10) doesn’t have this problem, but I have no schedule to upgrade, V8.04 is good enough for me.
Stable is the first thing.
