That's what I thought from looking at the code, too.
And no, this is for an IBSS network that uses an IPsec overlay for security.
It doesn't use wpa_supplicant and changing the code that way would be a major
hassle.
I would volunteer to change iw to accept a hex encoded binary blob as SSID.
What commandline would be acceptable?
