The SSID is being broadcast (and shows up on the scan).  Actually, trying in a
controlled setup, it does work when I use RSN/WPA-PSK/TKIP with -D ndis.
However, it does not work with an open AP (no encryption/authentication).
wpa_supplicant seems to say that it will work with open networks if so
configured (key_mgmt=NONE).  Is this not the case?

I roam between a few open networks that use a separate vpn layer for security,
and I'd really like to have it automatically figure out which to use (and then
setup the right vpn too).  I considered using dhclient.conf media settings,
but it sounds like that won't work either.
