Do you mean that
00:1D:60:14:33:2B <empty SSID>
00:1D:60:14:33:2B WLAN
should be unified into
00:1D:60:14:33:2B WLAN
???
First I wanted to do that, but then I thought that maybe this is
erraneous. An AP can have several SSIDs, one of them could be
hidden, the other ones not hidden. E.g. this is easy to setup on
a Cisco 123x or Cisco 124x access-point.
I also have a "take 3" of this patch now, because I adapted
(after a chat with David on IRC) the outstanding patches from
libertas-2.6 to wireless-testing. Two of the patches touched
scan.c as well, so I rewrote my scan-for-specific-ssid patch to
apply on top of the 5 David-Woodhouse-patches.
