I upgraded my dsl router from a befw11s4 to a wrt54g both of which have ssid cloaking enabled. Previously the befw11s4 would show up as no ssid for about 5 secs then kismet would pick it up but under the network properties it would say ssid cloaking. Now with the wrt54g it stays as no ssid. Does anyone know if this is a new security feature in the AP. If so is there any way to pick up the ssid on the new routers? I have noticed many around where I live that never show up either.
Thanks,
