Number of Probe Response Retry

There is a problem with the response to broadcast probe requests that contain a wildcard SSID. 

Some client implementations wait only a few ms after sending a probe request while scanning. It might be impossible to get the frame out before the client leaves the channel again. If the client leaves before all probe reponses where acked this can cause the probe response to be retried quite often consuming even more airtime.

Therefore, the question arises. Is it possible to set a flag to not send more than 1 probe response retry to broadcast probe requests that contain a wildcard SSID?

The old case had been closed. I have opened a new one with new and very recent traces. You are welcome to have an eye on the progress of this new case (00789474).
By the way, how can I change the order of SSIDs on access points? Please see also the case - there is something even more strange about the order of SSIDs appearing in the probe responses. Must be some 'hidden' parameter other than the plain list order that is relevant.
