A beacon and Action frame are broadcasted. The SSID in the beacon is hidden (32-bytes with value 0). For [[#Scan]]/[[#ScanPrivate]] it doesn't matter if no beacon is available ([[#NetworkInfo]] is the same), as long as the Action frame is broadcasted. However, the Station will not send a probe-request during connection if no beacon is available (and therefore not attempt any communication with the AccessPoint). | A beacon and Action frame are broadcasted.
