It should work. I just hid my SSID and had no trouble seeing the AP when
scanning nor any problem
with associating or authenticating.
How close are you to the AP at Purdue? The 4311's don't broadcast with much
power and you might not
be in reach. I'm also not sure about the ap_scan=2 in your .conf file. Please
try a value of 1.
One other thing to test. Once the system is trying to authenticate, do an
'iwlist s' command to see
if any scans are getting through. It doesn't seem as if they are, but this is
another way to see.
