Set SSID=hex doesn't work

Hi,
   As I read from the README, we can set the wpa_supplicant's parameter by
using hex string as SSID name. Here is my network block:
wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
        ssid="00:1a:4d:2f:87:2c"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
        pairwise=CCMP
        eap=PEAP
        phase1="peaplabel=0"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        identity="test"
        password="test"
}

   After I run wpa_supplicant, debug message shows
Scan results: 1
Selecting BSS from priority group 0
Try to find WPA-enabled AP
0: 00:1a:4d:2f:87:2c ssid='TEST1' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=22 caps=0x411
   skip - SSID mismatch
Try to find non-WPA AP
0: 00:1a:4d:2f:87:2c ssid='TEST1' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=22 caps=0x411
   skip - SSID mismatch
No suitable AP found.

    README states clearly that ssid: either as an ASCII string with double
quotation or as hex string; network name

    I guess that I may make mistake somewhere. Can anybody suggest me??

Pongsak
