Hi SchwarzeWolke,

The hashtag is a comment as far as wpa supplicant is concerned. So it is
ignored by wpa supplicant.

piCorePlayer on the other hand uses the tag to determine it's course of
action. Normally, if you go to the [Wifi Settings] web page it reads the
wpa_suppplicant.conf and displays the information. If you then press
[Save], a new wpa_supplicant.conf is written using pCP standards. We do
this because we assume that it is easier for us to create a correctly
formatted wpa_supplicant.conf than the user. We also hoped it would make
wifi easy to get going and reduce support issues. :confused:

Now we realize some users are very well versed in wpa supplicant and
require a complicated wpa_supplicant.conf file. So, we allow the user to
do what ever they want, and as long as they add #Maintained by user pCP
will ignore the file in the web interface, pCP will not modify the file.
The advanced users is expected to maintain wpa_supplicant.conf using
manual methods.

Best of both worlds! :D

regards
Greg
