Are you trying to fix a bug that addresses some noticeable issue?

Like Johannes pointed out, this should not really result in any real
change in actual behavior. If it does, there is likely a real bug
somewhere else and that should be fixed. The SSID buffer is used as an
arbitrary binary array of ssid_len octets and as such, there is no need
to null-terminate it - the extra octets in the buffer are ignored.
