This is kind of my attitude towards hidden ssids as well. I usually run my "real" ssid as hidden, and then have a "guest" ssid broadcasting. The guest gets 'net access, but is on a separate subnet from the "real", and is also throttled. If someone runs a scanner and sees my "real" ssid, then likely they can spoof the MAC and set a static IP with DNS and GW.

I haven't found a decent wifi usb or pci adapter locally, so I'm running my wireless on a dlink $30 "router" plugged in to a standard NIC. I want to upgrade this ASAP.
