Change in wifi behavior after update to 1.1.0

[cswiger]

My (admittedly sub-optimal) main.py wifi init script stopped working after update to 1.1.0.

Took a while but traced it down to this:

wifi = WLAN(WLAN.STA)

wifi would still be in WLAN.AP mode and subsequent attempts to connect would error. This is working now:

wifi = WLAN()
wifi.mode(WLAN.STA)
wifi.ifconfig( your network parameters )
wifi.connect( your ap parameters )

I always say, you learn the most by troubleshooting

wifi = WLAN(WLAN.STA)

The new syntax would be:

Code: Select all

wifi = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)

It's also mentioned in the documentation.

yes, hours of frustrated experimenting can save you minutes of reading

wifi = WLAN(WLAN.STA)

The new syntax would be:

Code: Select all

wifi = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)

That's all nice, but how do you explain behavior in this post: http://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1056?

That had nothing to do with the mode as @danicampora explained there.
