I tried scan_ssid = 1 on my freebos V4. did not nwork. So here is my file:

# Minimal /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to associate with open
#  access points. Please see
#  /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.gz for more complete
#  configuration parameters.

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

### Associate with any open access point
###  Scans/ESSID changes can be done with wpa_cli
network={
        ssid=""
        key_mgmt=NONE
}

### Home network
network={
        ssid="Thierry1"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="xxxxx"
}
