Is it possible to hide the SSID of the SoftAP network?  Routers usually have an option similar to " do not broadcast the SSID".  I'd like to do the same with SoftAP.

softAP with hidden SSID?

The API is not implemented yet.

So you can add following code in wwd_wifi.c

-----

wiced_result_t wiced_wifi_set_closednet(uint32_t closed) {

    wiced_buffer_t buffer;

    uint32_t *data = (uint32_t *)wiced_get_iovar_buffer(&buffer, (uint16_t)4, IOVAR_STR_CLOSEDNET);

    CHECK_IOCTL_BUFFER(data);

    *data = closed;

    return wiced_send_iovar(SDPCM_SET, buffer, NULL, SDPCM_AP_INTERFACE);

}
