I can't connect to hidden networks

Hi I've a Broadcom Wifi chipset in my Dell Latitude E6400 but I can not connect to any hidden network and I don't know why, because I could connect to that wireless when they weren't hidden. This is the output when I try to connect to a network

This is the output of the lspci
