I looked over some of the prior discussions around softAP using 
/etc/default/bb-wl18xx 
settings.  Seems like an option to use a user-generate hostapd.  
I have a couple questions:
1) I'd like to use the softAP to exchange raw Ethernet with some host 
STAs.  It seems like I can change the SSID and passkey by modifying the 
/etc/default/bb-wl18xx.  I want to make the SSID hidden (not broadcast) and 
I'd like to disable the DHCP on that interface as well.  Is that possible?

2) Is it possible to change the SSID and passkey without rebooting?  [not a 
crisis if I have to reboot]

3) Is there a good way to use Python to change the SSID and passkey?  My 
Python code has the BB (acting as a wifi STA) communicating with a server 
(AWS).  I would like to remotely configure the BB with a softAP SSID and 
passkey, so that my IOT devices can connect to it.

Thanks, john
