mp 1.6 , ESP8266 - cannot set STA config

[c0ax]

Hi, i just tested this:
>>> import network
>>> nic = network.WLAN()
>>> nic.connect('ssid', 'password')

(ssid and password changed offcourse)
And i cannot connect, this is the reply:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: Cannot set STA config

i see the "default" network AP from the ESP, SSID" ESP_008510" on current board. i tried

>>> nic.disconnect()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: Cannot disconnect from AP

and:

>>> print(nic.isconnected())
False

tested with two ESP12 boards.
any ideas? i compiled the 1.6 ESP8266 cloned yesterday.

There're many issues with the current ESP8266 port, which will be addressed by the Kickstarter campaign: http://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1338

i am backing that campaign, i didnt read the "we will release source when campaign ends" part
i'll switch to CC3200 until it's released.
