Gah. This is right down the fricking bottom of the document in the section 
about dealing with hidden ssid's that someone added a while back based on a 
very old configuration. This example should have been adjusted to not show 
that line at all a *long* time ago. I missed it.

For the transition to not be rocky for those few poor people who followed that 
advice and not the 5 other examples of configuring WPA via "managed" mode 
described a few paragraphs above, ugly hacks to a hot path of the ifupdown 
hook would be required.

Patch against pkg-wpa trunk is attached.

Kel.
