My Windows box confirms that 00:0e:83:af:77:f5 is on channel 40, so
there's definitely some communication taking place.

I've tried it both ways. I believe it handles APs that don't respond to
broadcasts. It was unclear if these Aironet APs were or not. There's no
obvious setting for it in their configuration.

I just did that for the sake of pasting the output. I've left it running
while tweaking configuration options and running 'wpa_cli reconfigure'
but I've never managed to get our SSID to appear in wpa_supplicant's
output. Odd that it picks up SDC-WAP-001 no problem.

Will do.
