James, why are you attempting to justify this pointless, unsecure, 
method of wireless configuration?

SSID hiding is *not* secure. It is *not* a deterrent. Security through 
obscurity is *not* security.

Obtaining a MAC takes seconds - i.e. no more 'work' than it is to find 
your 'hidden' SSID.

These snake oil methods of wireless security need to simply die.
