yeah thanks, Paul! I didn't know that and it seems very helpful for
known wifi networks.

I am running picoreplayer on a portable system and quite often I do not
know the wifi credentials before I leave my home.
The problem is that I normally do not have a keyboard with me to
configure the wpa_supplicant.conf. Since my device has a display I
thought it could be an idea to use the on-screen-keyboard in jivelite to
enter the wifi credentials.

For headless systems I  have found this repository on GitHub and I have
tested it on a normal rasbian image:

https://github.com/sabhiram/raspberry-wifi-conf

In this case my pi 3 starts automatically in access point mode, when no
networks are found. Then I can connect with my smartphone directly to
the pi. After entering my wifi credentials the pi reboots and connects
to the new wifi network.

Entering the wifi credentials keyboardless via displa/jivelite or
smartphone would be place number one on my picoreplayer feature
christmas wishlist :)
