I'm trying to create a Blackberry app that will connect to a specific SSID, but the Blackberry MDS Simulator only provides a 'Default WLAN Test Network' - is there any way to change the SSID of the WLAN the MDS Simulator creates?

Yes, you can do this.
Note: this doesn't actually require the MDS (BES) simulator. The MDS simulator simulates MDS. WiFi is a different transport, and is supported directly in the device simulators (e.g. 8900, 9900, etc.). So, you only really need the device simulator running for this.
From the device simulator menu, select Simulate -> Network Properties.
Then, select the Add... button.
Select the
WLANnetwork type, and then give your new WiFi network the SSID (Name) you want.Make sure then that in the Network Properties window, your new WiFi network has In Coverage checked, and the Signal Strength should be turned up (e.g. -40 dBm). You might also choose to disable the
Default WLAN Networkby unchecking the In Coverage box for it, so you can be sure your new network is the one being used.Then, you use the BlackBerry simulator like a normal device to connect to the new network:
Select the Manage Connections button, then Set Up Wi-Fi Network. Follow the instructions, and select the Scan for Networks button.
You should now have a working Wi-Fi network.
I believe you can also look in the *.conf files that are normally stored in your %PROFILE% directory (e.g. C:\Users\username) under .\net\rim\fledge-2. They should contain properties for the saved Wi-Fi networks for your simulator(s).
