Why use a separate command for this, and not do it like the SSID? I also
was under the impression you wanted both (which is somewhat redundant
since you can parse the SSID out of the probe response), so shouldn't
they both be required (or none, for compatibility)?
Also, should cfg80211 pretend it knows the SSID/probe response when
userspace didn't set it (from the beacon) so that mac80211 or the
low-level drivers don't need to worry?
