>Description:
1:	wpa_supplicant (included in the base system), blanks the ssid

2:	more tedious: wpa_supplicant does not associate to an AP
when this one is hidden even indicating the bssid and scan_ssid=1
in the config file.

tested on a sony laptop S5 (iwi builtin) and a smp asus desktop (ath pci card).
When the AP is NOT hidden all goes well.
this problem occurs since my update (2007-10-27).
with a world and kernel from 2007-9-30 this problem was not present.

wpa_supplicant calls libpcap: (a change in libpcap (18-10) could it be
related???

 Thanks for your email, but Sam,  suggested the solution:
 in my wpa_supplicant:
 	=== === ===
 	scan_ssid=1
 	=== === ===
 	...
 the only thing needed is a word in the doc to help on this topic (hidden ap).
 
 Really, many thanks for your efforts, maintaining and developping FreeBSD,
 (I run FreeBSD since 2000).
 
 Best regards
