Sorry, I had changed the condition to ssid[1] != 0 without understanding
the effect that would have on hidden APs.

I made the change for a reason: it makes the ieee80211_node track changes
of SSID during a scan (see net/if_ieee80211subr.c rev 1.39). Now it will
not.

How do we track SSID changes and still accomodate hidden APs?
