I'm not sure "ANY" works, although it's supposed to (I think you
may have to set it to the empty string, "", instead -- without the
quotes).
From the above, I believe you've tried this, but I just want to
double-check (note the "-n"):
wicontrol -i wi0 -n linksys
Linksys does have a Lucent Orinoco/Wavelan-specific note mentioning that
you must set the desired network name to match that used by the access
point, and that a blank network name will not work (this is for the
WAP11, but it probably also applies to the BEFW11S4).
