If you have ever tried tools like Netstumbler you will quickly find that hiding your SSID is useless. Tried hiding the SSID with all the wireless units I have had (for fun) and Netstumbler comes back with the SSID just as fast regardless of the fact its "hidden" or not. If a piece of free software does that then you are not protecting anything by hiding the SSID.
The only thing hiding the SSID does is create connectivity problems. Wireless is a RADIO. The only way to keep it hidden would be to line the building its in with RF blocking material. -- tedfroop "Good judgement is the result of experience ...
