I just wanted to let you know that I do have a similar issue of not being able to connect to a hidden wireless on Debain Stretch with XFCE on an Asus EeePC 1015px.

It might not be the same problem entirely since I can't connect to my own network even if it is not hidden. It doesn't even show up in the list of available networks. But I can use an open public access point of an other wireless, but is to slow for most purposes. Therefore, I assume in principle all works fine but there seems to be a problem with how my own router is configured. On other systems (different laptops from Dell, Acer and Lenovo with Trisquel, Ubuntu and Debian) my private wireless works just fine.

Hidden as in not broadcasting SSID? The anti-feature pseudo-sec practice? :P

Yes, ist is NOT hidden and it still doesn't show up. Therefore it looks like it would be hidden even if it actually isn't.

asus 1015px has a proprietory broadcom 4313 wifi + bluetooth mini pcie card. it can be replaced with an open source one like ar5b95. I have not tried connecting to a hidden wifi though, debian stretch (custom live persitene) appears to be working fine in my 1015px (liberated with ar5b95 but the BIOS is not possible to be librebooted :( ).
