While testing pCP7, I discovered there is a problem with the pi3B+
network adapter. It does not properly detect the carrier, and also
will not come back up if you issue an ifconfig eth0 down command. One
would think that it would not matter for AP mode, but since I'm really

If piCorePlayer finds wpa_supplicant.conf on the boot partition it will
turn Wifi on, create a new /usr/local/etc/pcp/wpa_supplicant.conf and
delete wpa_supplicant.conf from the boot partition. If you happen to be

You can only add wlan0 to the bridge from console, and will loose it
after a reboot.

Hi Paul.
I tried your extension package on a brand new piCorePlayer 4.1

It doesn't seems to work and not much is happening. The Squeezeplayer

The integrated version will make it easier to adjust the SSID and
password. This is a WPA2 encryption, so I wouldn't worry about the SSID
being "inviting"
Setting the addresses like you did is the best way to do it, there is
some startup timing that confuses the auto detection. I might look
