I have a similar problem with one of my systems.

I have the old Linksys WirelessB router and the built-in adapter on my Compaq laptop. This works fine with a hidden SSID. However, my new 'el cheapo' AMD wireless card will not connect to the hidden SSID what ever I try.

I've given up and gone back to just WEP and MAC filtering. Works for me - just like KP, Matth et al have said.
