There will be a hidden service created for each of the security types,
i.e. one each for none, WEP, WPA and 802.11. When the user tries to
connect to one of these, the Agent API will request for a 'Name' or
'SSID' to be returned in addition to the passphrase. The user can thus
fill in the required SSID for the network. In the next scan, the same
(or another) access point will still be hidden, so the hidden network
entry will still show up.

To the simple-agent 'Answer: ' prompt reply with the string
'Name=yourssidhere' in addition to the passphrase, e.g.: 'Name=MyWiFi
Passphrase=foobar'. The documentation is unfortunately the python source
code...

That's too bad. For some reason the WPA access point did not show up in
the scan. Try scanning again and check that the access point actually is
in WPA mode.
