Thank you - that's super helpful!
Is there a different hardware device you could recommend that behaves
better? (Ideally one I could plug into a USB?)
Also, I gather the WLAN driver would also overwrite the probe response
frames?
Thanks again!

The WLAN driver is responsible for building the full Beacon frame and it

This is on a Raspberry Pi 3B. I installed the latest Raspbian Buster, tried
it with the hostapd 2.8 it comes with, and then recompiled from the
2.8-devel hostapd git source.
The particular driver used on that does not seem to allow hostapd to set
this type of contents for the Beacon frames. In other words, getting
this to work would require changes to that driver.
