it depends a little bit on the wpa_supplicant configuration. And yes,
the hidden APs are not correctly supported right now. I need to better
add BSSID and ESSID support to uniquely identify them. Currently we rely
on the ESSID. Also in cases where we scan for an access point, even a
hidden AP can reveal its ESSID. So this for sure needs some extra work.

Marcel
