For those that care, even a "closed" access point will be seen by
dstumbler in monitor (prism2) mode.  The problem is that as soon as
a node associates with the AP, the two devices chatter back and forth
revealing the SSID constantly.  Closed is great, as long as you aren't 
talking.  

Just like WEP... it's wired equivalent as long as you don't transmit
any data.
