15 If I use a broadcast ssid everything works, however if I turn off the
16 broadcast on the ap and do a debug of the wpa, it recognizes that there is a
17 hidden ssid but will not connect to it.

21 I would rather use hidden ssids than not but how can I get it to connect?

25 Please can you also tell me a quick way to restart the interface to make it
26 go through all the negotiaton, as I have moved from ubuntu where
27 /etc/init.d/networking restart did it
