I'm now quite sure that with the current versions, I can't get either iwconfig (which can be used to set up a Prism 2.5 based AP at least in open and WEP modes) or hostapd (required for WPA on Prism 2.5 and for any AP mode on mac80211 based drivers) to use SSIDs with embedded NULs. iwconfig supports escaping for SSIDs, but using an embedded NUL causes truncation (possibly a driver bug). For hostapd, the configuration can only take unescaped, literal values. I've filed a corresponding feature request [1] upstream.
