Apologies - I mean broadcast frames (and not management frames!!) :)

Subject: SSID hiding works


Hello everyone,

I ungraded the firmware on my Sparklan WL-360F to 1.1.1 (primary) and 1.7.4
(secondary) using winupdate (thanks to Jouni and Pavel for the tip). I would
like to confirm that on enabling enhanced security (iwpriv wlan0 enh_sec 1),
the SSID was no longer visible in the management frames (used AiroPeek to
check that). And my wireless client on a windows XP box can associate to the
AP when I provide the SSID.

Next I would like to see if I can do anything with the "power management".
Anyone had any success with this?

Best regards,
