WPA not associate with both SSID broadcast/non-broadcast

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately that doesn't work.  If I set 
ap_scan=1 (or ap_scan=0) it won't pick up the hidden access point.  What it 
will end up doing is just associating with the strongest broadcasted signal.  
If I set the essid with iwconfig, then it will not find it.

Jason,

Did you try setting "scan_ssid=1"?

This helps me find non-broadcast SSIDs.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

I have a question.  I currently have two networks setup, geographically
separated from each other (one is at home, the other is at work).  What
I
want to do is share the same config file between the two, however I'm
having
a problem doing that.

The SSID "work" is not being broadcast, and to get on this I have to
change
the var ap_scan=2.  That works great.

The SSID "home" is being broadcast, and I need to set ap_scan=1, which
works,
however it doesn't work with ap_scan=2.

Is there some kind of config option that I'm missing?  Is this even
possible
to do?  I'd read that ap_scan=2 can only be used for one network block.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
