Description From James Ketrenos 2006-03-17 09:07:10

If you disable broadcasting of the SSID on your wireless network, you may
experience intermittent network disassociation and periodic inability to
associate with your network.

If you experience this problem, the current workaround is to enable SSID 
beaconing from the AP.

Modify beacon match to not care about SSID

The attached patch modifies the driver to ignore the SSID provided within a
beacon for determing if the beacon should reset disassociation timers.
