Tambet, maybe I've found the cause for this issue.
In nm_setting_wireless_ap_security_compatible (nm-setting-wireless.c) NM checks
if the specified ciphers (pairwise and group) match the APs capabilities. In
case none are specified NM assumes the AP is not compatible and therefore
assumes it is hidden.
Does that make sense?
Are the ciphers mandatory for NM?
In wpa_supplicant the ciphers are optional and are only used for locking the
connection to only use a specific cipher. If none are specified wpa_supplicant
(in conjuncton with the driver) just takes any suitable cipher.
