>Description:
If wireless connection is marked hidden freebsd 10 is unable to connect. 

/etc/rc.conf:

wlans_iwn0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf contains:

network={
        ssid="mywifi"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="hello nsa"
}


If wireless is not hidden, i can connect with no problems. Same configuration worked with Freebsd 9.1.

Laptop is Lenovo X200 (iwn)
>How-To-Repeat:
Uncheck "broadcast network name" (or something similar) from wifi-box and try to connect using freebsd 10.
