Use of hidden SSIDs (including this type of multi-SSID configuration) is
not defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard and can cause various issues
since some clients do not expect the Beacon frame and Probe Response
frames to use different information. You can usually get this working by
using ap_scan=2 mode (i.e., ask the driver to connect to the network
instead of ask it for scan results).
