I read a message from Markus Kesaromous, on a related topic, that happened
to have the following line -

"I set scan_ssid=1 [in wpa_supplicant.conf] because my router does not
broadcast the ssid."

I have the same situation, so I have added that line to my .conf file, and
it seems to have solved the problem.

Thanks, Markus ;-)
