I updated form 12.10 to 13.04 and computer will not automatically reconnect to hidden wireless network anymore, have to manually connect every time after booting.

The "Connect automatically" option is now moved to General tab and is called "Automatically connect to this network when it is available". Are you sure it's checked?

As far as I can tell, this might be a problem of kernel version>3.5 My machine is a Lenovo Ideapad U310 with:
$ lspci | grep Network 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2200 (rev c4)
The module used is iwlwifi. I've had this problem on Arch too, with the "stock" 3.8.x kernel, and sometimes also with a custom built 3.6.9. It was so annoying that I replaced it with 13.04 in hope of any sort of success.

The "automatically connect" option is checked here, and it was also a problem with wicd on Arch.

On ubuntu 12.04 with linux-lts-quantal (kernel ver. 3.5.x) everything just works fine.

Please let us know your hardware configuration.
