I tried to blank it, but wap11gui takes a long walk on a short pier when
I do that. So I reset it to 'wap11', real inventive that. The signal
went away. Changed it back to coyote.den & the signal came back, but
still no connect. Change it to anything else and the signal
disappears.
There is no mention of the phrase ESSID in the kwifimanager docs.

stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
