I've never seen that before.
What's more, I cannot force a blank ESSID into my AP! Maybe it's pre 802.11 standard as they used Nick's instead of ESSID's. |

| I take it that it's not one of your devices that it's finding - a neighbours? |

they're probably just cloaking the essid for the AP. if you want to connect to it try using
iwconfig <device> ap <apaddress>
that might work |
