+/**
+ * A common task is to connect to an access point and hence be a
+ * WiFi station.  By default, when we connect to the access point we
+ * then perform DHCP client protocols to obtain an IP address.  This
+ * takes a few seconds (in my experience).  If we are in the middle of
+ * edit, compile, run, test - repeat cycles ... every few seconds of
+ * "pause" can add up to our workflow.  This fragment illustrates the use
+ * of a static IP address.  We continue to connect to the access point but
+ * now instead of using DHCP to be allocated an address, we tell the
+ * access point the address we want to use.  Obviously it can't already
+ * be in use and it has to be in the range of valid addresses.  If these
+ * are satisfied, we shave off a few seconds of pause time and work as we
+ * immediately have our IP address.
