We have had the discussion on broadcasting or not to broadcast the SSID at work a number of times. I know I am going out on a limb with this gang here but I really does not think it matters. If someone is looking for wireless access points and they are in range, then they will find it whether it is being broadcasted or not. Not broadcasting the SSID protects you only from the clueless and those are the one that you can defeat with most simple security solutions. The true wireless hacker is going to find your AP whether you broadcast the SSID or not so why not make it easier for your clueless employee's and go ahead and broadcast the SSID?
