Jim,
Yes, I have run into one particular problem when an SSID is not
broadcast. We call it a 'code 18", where the problem is 18 inches away
from the monitor. :-)
I have found that it is quite difficult for people who do not have some
experience with wireless, to set up their wireless devices when an SSID
is not being broadcast. You may be asking too much from the general
public to force their device to search for the SSID.
If the SSID is going to be used by the general then you might want to
broadcast it, in order to minimize the calls to your helpdesk.
