Hi Llew, I am using connman to connect. It remembers the last network it was connected to and you can set it to auto connect.
A simple connection example: https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/tutorials/setting-up-wifi-using-the-command-line/ You can also configure it to have a fixed ip and other configurations, eg: # connmanctl config wifi_xxxxx_xxxxx_managed_psk --ipv4 manual 192.168.2.x 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1 # connmanctl config wifi_xxxxx_xxxxx_managed_psk --nameservers 192.168.2.1 # connmanctl config wifi_xxxxx_xxxxx_managed_psk --ipv6 off Or even set it to connect to a hidden SSID by going directly into the configurations file. /var/lib/connman/ cd /var/lib/connman/ sudo su cd wifi_xxxxx_xxxxx_managed_psk# And add Hidden=true to the settings file using your favorite text editor. Hope that helps. Best Hans.
