I tried to reproduce that in a VM by running hostapd and using the neat
=E2=80=98mac80211_hwsim=E2=80=99 kernel module.

However, hostapd=E2=80=99s config file doesn=E2=80=99t allow empty SSIDs.  =
So I set the
SSID to =E2=80=9C =E2=80=9D (a single space), but that=E2=80=99s correctly =
handled by the
installer.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
