The current station firmware code makes this pretty difficult because it
takes care of Probe Request processing and does not internally support
multiple SSIDs. In theory, one could try rotating SSIDs, but that is not
very nice solution for this. Anyway, multiple SSIDs do not necessarily
help with the Privacy bit because most implementations would share the
same beacon frame with all the SSIDs.
