I wish I could chime in and let you know more specifics about your question, but I want to let you know my experience with wireless and just leave it at that. Maybe someone can actually help you with your question.
Either way, what I've found is that hiding your ssid from the world does nothing except make it harder for you to connect to your own access point. If someone wants to get in to your network, hiding the ssid won't do anything. Programs like netstumbler on windows and kismet on linux can *EASILY* see a hidden ssid. This makes me ask the question, why do you need to hide your ssid? Yes, I know how asking redundant questions like "why are you doing this, why are you doing that" isn't really helpful, but in this case it seems a justified answer.. given that people can easily get around a hidden ssid and it just makes life for YOU harder. I hope this helps in just a little way. If not, then I hope someone else can chime in with a more relevant answer.
