I think it's a good time for @dpgeorge to review this PR too... |
Adds: - WLAN.config(auto_connect=False) to stop the ESP8266 from automatically connecting to wifi networks after bootup. - WLAN.config(reconnects=X) to limit the number of times to attempt to reconnect after becoming disconnected from a wifi access point.

@glenn20 Thank you for such a great work! But still, is it |
Ah - thanks for picking up on this. It is indeed "auto_connect". I will fix the description above to ma 860F tch. |

Adds support for:
WLAN.config(auto_connect=True/False)); andWLAN.config(reconnects=xx)).Motivation
The auto-connect feature is regarded by some as a mis-feature of the esp8266 and is one source of incompatible behaviour for code running on esp32 and esp8266. The
auto_connect=Falseoption allows users to ensure their esp8266 device's behaviour is deterministically derived from startup code. Thereconnectsoption provides similar (but not the same) functionality to thereconnectsopton on ESP32.The semantics of the
reconnectsoption differ from the esp32 in important ways:Note:
WLAN.config("reconnects")is not supported since the esp8266 SDK provide no mechanism for querying the current settings.This PR adds:
WLAN.config(auto_connect=True/False)to enable/disable the ESP8266 from automatically connecting to wifi networks after WLAN.active(True).WLAN.config(reconnects=xx)wherexxis an integer to limit the number of times to attempt to reconnect after becoming disconnected from a wifi access point.
