Thanks for the quick response.
I'm going to guess that you don't have WEXT support compiled into your
kernel :)
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep --color --ignore-case wext
# CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT is not set
Yes, you are correct. I do not have WEXT compiled into the kernel.
I get this issue reported from time to time.
I get bored of it so I bloated dhcpcd by another 600 bytes on Linux so
that we can get the SSID via the shiny nl80211 interface.

If anyone can test it to ensure I've not broken anything, that would be
ace.
Thanks
