There is no automatic reconnect after wlan.active(False);
wlan.active(True). This commit provide the possibility to run
wlan.connect() without parameter, to reconnect to the previously
connected AP.
resolve#2493
According to the Arduino ESP8266 implementation the first argument to the
wifi scan callback is actually a bss_info pointer. This patch fixes the
iteration over this data so the first 2 entries are no longer skipped.
Fixes issue #2372.
Instead of calling strlen(), which won't work if there're 32 chars in
returned ESSID. struct bss_info::ssid_len is not documented in SDK API
Guide, but is present in SDK headers since 1.4.0. Just in case, previous
code is left commented.
Ctrl-C will raise a KeyboardInterrupt and stop the scan (although it will
continue to run in the background, it won't report anything). If
interrupted, and another scan() is started before the old one completes
in the background, then the second scan will fail with an OSError.
These symbols are still defined in terms of the system Exxx symbols, and
can be switched to internal numeric definitions at a later stage.
Note that extmod/modlwip still uses many system Exxx symbols.
Allows to set (in case keyword args are given) or query (in case a single
"symbolic keyword" (a string, value is the same as keyword)) arbitrary
interface paramters (i.e. extensible and adaptable to various hardware).
Example usage:
ap_if = network.WLAN(1)
ap_if.config(essid="MicroPython on Air")
print(ap_if.config("essid"))
Allows to up/down interface when called with a boolean, or query current
state if called without args. This per-interface method is intended to
supersede adhoc network.wifi_mode() function.
On ESP8266, there're 2 different interfaces. Pretending it's not the case
desn't make sense. So, network.WLAN() now takes interface id, and returns
interface object. Individual operations are then methods of interface
object. Some operations require i/f of specific type (e.g. .connect()
makes sense only for STA), other are defined for any (e.g. .ifconfig(),
.mac()).
MicroPython "network" module interface requires it to contains classes
to instantiate. But as we have a static network interace, make WLAN()
"constructor" just return module itself, and just make all methods
module-global functions.
