[Bug 576992] Re: Hidden SSID still not work in 10.04

[Gene Cumm]

After researching the fact that turning off the SSID broadcast (aka
hidden SSID, SSID cloaking) is against the standard, I feel that any
time a checkbox is included to use a non-broadcasting SSID (at least on
the APs), it should pop-up a warning that it's not a security feature,
breaks the standard, and only causes issues.  Real security is achieved
with encryption, preferably WPA2-Enterprise such that the encryption
keys are never stored on the client and a single user can be disabled in
the event of a breach.
