I think rarsa has already dealt with this situation in the Network Wizard - the default value in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is "ap_scan=2" and the gui shows the "AP Scan:" selection as "Hidden" - refer attached image.
When "Hidden" is deselected, the other two values become available - "Supplic." and "Driver". I assume that "Supplic." sets "ap_scan=1" and "Driver" sets "ap_scan=0".
I'm thinking that it would be more clear for users if "Supplic." was re-labelled "SSID broadcast" and "Hidden" was re-labelled "SSID hidden".
I realise you probably can't test whether the Wizard sets the correct values because of the various other bugs with the Wizard under Puppy4.x, but it appears that Barry has now sorted these bugs and hopefully you will be able to check the Wizard when Puppy 4.1 is released.
