Hi,

Is it possible to support the equivalent of the cnfEnhSecurity RID when running in host ap mode? This RID is supported when running the AP tertiary firmware, and provides the following features:

• Ability to hide SSID name in the beacon frame
• Ability to block responses to probe requests with unspecified SSIDs

These options are useful in making access points less detectable.

Is there any way, when running in host ap mode, to affect/hide the SSID name in the beacon frame and block probe responses to unspecified SSID? Of course, I'm asking because I have not been able to come with a way to do this. ;-)

Thanks!
--James
