Hi,
I am not able to establish wireless connection on my wireless router if I choose "Do not broadcast SSID" setting on the router.
Firstly, why exactly are you choosing to not broadcast your SSID ? You do understand that doing so does not really affect the security of your network, right ? (that is just security by obscurity, for real world security use WPA)
Secondly, just a shot-in-the-dark, with NetworkManager running, right click the nm-applet and choose the option 'Connect to a Hidden Wireless Network ...' and check whether that option lets you connect.
hth, cheers, - steve
