Chromebooks are unable to associate to an Hidden PSK Based SSID Only on 5Ghz (UNII-2 and UNII-2E)

Reported by ricky8...@gmail.com, May 16 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a Hidden SSID on your WLAN Architecture on UNII-2 and UNII-2E channel

2. Manually create the connection on the Chromebook by going to settings 
and click on "Add connection" and click on "Add Wifi" and then enter the 
SSID name/SecurityType/Password and click on Connect and then
the Wifi icon keeps spinning and finally throws an error after 15 seconds stating " Network Connection Error - Failed to connect to the network "1testssid" : Out of range"

3. However, if the same SSID is Unhidden, then the same Chromebook connects immediately or if the same SSID is broadcasted in UNII-1 or UNII-3 Channels then the same Chromebook connects without any issues

What is the expected behavior?
Expected behavior is that it should connect even on UNII-2 and UNII-2E channels if the SSID is Hidden

What went wrong?
Issue is only with Chromebook as other Windows, Macbook and Handheld Devices connect without any issues

Did this work before? No
