wpa_supplicant socket error

[Fabio Sangiovanni]

Thanks a lot! It works fine now :)

Another question: I have some problems associating my AP when it's set 
not to broadcast SSID. I've read around on the internet and on this list 
that other users have the same problem. Why does this happen? Will 
future versions of wpa_supplicant resolve the issue?

Thanks a lot for support.
