How are the characters represented in "iwlist scan"?

I'm not quite sure about this but the 802.11 standard specifies the ssid
as a plain byte array. Hence the access point might use a different encoding
than the client. AFAIK wpa_supplicant allows to enter a hex ssid, not sure 
about KNM and ifup.
