From: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The IEEE80211_CONF_SSID_HIDDEN setting is unclear but does not match the "closed net" flag b43 hardware has; the flag influences only the sending of probe responses which is disabled anyway. >From looking at the microcode, I can see that if the flag is set then probe requests are required to be directed to the BSSID of the AP to be answered by the microcode, but this not interesting because we don't support probe request offload anyway. This patch removes the IEEE80211_CONF_SSID_HIDDEN use from b43legacy.
