I didn't respond to this. My AP is UNABLE to hide it's ssid.

And to your comment about 'beta report' this is (unless my contact sent me a beta without telling me)
supposed to be one of those already working cards that are listed on Jonas' site but not generally
available. I'm sure the those in the know, ID'd the card from the SSID that was in the NIF since they
appear to be different in the Prism drivers. I was hoping for a more enlightened 'out-of-the-box'
experience, but eCS 1.1 (in general) reminds me more of OS/2 2.0 in it's install issues. I'm ready to
put MCP2 or ACP1 on the box.
