                          **Is it theorically possible to connect to a hidden wifi without giving the ESSID?**

The way I connect to a hidden wifi requires to give an SSID (nmcli refuses to have a blank 802-11-wireless.ssid field).

     nmcli con add type wifi con-name  ifname wlan0 ssid 
     nmcli con modify  wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk
     nmcli con modify  wifi-sec.psk
