(Reposting this as my original post went out without a subject.) Hi, Tracking down a customer problem, I recently discovered that Linux does not currently support hidden SSIDs on DFS channels. As far as I can tell, there isn't a fundamental reason for this. You could switch to a frequency, listen for a beacon, once you see the beacon send a directed probe, and listen for responses. I'm sure there are folks on this list who have thought about this issue... - Are there any reasons you know of why my proposed strategy would not work from a regulatory point of view? - If a patch were prepared, is this something that would be considered for mainstream inclusion? I know that hidden SSIDs are a bad idea. But some customers can be hard to convince, and dealing with customers who have hidden SSIDs on DFS channels can be a support burden. If we can make it just work for them then our life is that much easier.
