That's what I thought from looking at the code, too. 

And no, this is for an IBSS network that uses an IPsec overlay for security. 
It doesn't use wpa_supplicant and changing the code that way would be a major 
hassle. 

I would volunteer to change iw to accept a hex encoded binary blob as SSID. 
What commandline would be acceptable?
