I don't have any experience with iwconfig, but on a WAP (and on a WAP only)
it should be possible to set the SSID. On clients you cannot set it. Just
only read it, by choosing the network (ie SSID) you want to connect through
if more then one available.

So either you are trying to set a SSID on a device other then a WAP or
Your programm to make the settings is buggy.
