Dan,
Thanks for the comment!

iew.u.data.length is __u16

min_t is defined as:
#define min_t(type, x, y) ({                    \
        type __min1 = (x);                      \
        type __min2 = (y);                      \
        __min1 < __min2 ? __min1: __min2; })

If I understand you correctly I should use this:

iwe.u.data.length = min_t(u32, pnetwork->network.Ssid.SsidLength, 32);

the result of min_t is u32, but iwe.u.data.lenght is __u16

Is that correct?
