The firmware is uploaded into the device during startup, so probably
Windows and Linux driver provide different firmware versions.

But the Linux driver should work with hidden ESSID (it does with my Belkin
AP here). I need more info to track your problem down. Please try (after
config. your WLAN adapter):

	iwpriv wlan0 set_debug 0x100003
	iwconfig wlan0 down
	iwconfig wlan0 up

and post the relevant parts of the syslog.

If you change the config. of your AP, it probably executes a reset leading
to a disconnect of all clients.

BTW, which APs do both of you use?
