Well, well.
I wasn't aware bridged AP mode was a thing in piCore. I have one player
running pCP v7 that I installed recently. So I went about and clicked my
way through setting up AP mode (downloads went well apparently), bridged
mode (doesn't seem to get concerned with the IP address field just above
it).

And then I pressed the start button (or something like that, I don't
have the GUI in front of me anymore, now ;)
I thought that would start an AP bridged with eth0 and clients would be
part of the main LAN.
Last thing I saw was a trace mentioning IP address 10.10.10.1, which is
useless on my network, and possibly in this scenario, too.

Alas, the headless machine has now sailed away. It's not in a
10.10.10.0/24 network, either on wifi or ethernet. It doesn't have an
mDNS published address. Perhaps it has a zeroconf address but I didn't
scan long enough to find it.
In other words, it feels a little bit like a brick.

I will get myself out of trouble, no worries.
But either there is somehow room for improvement for the unsuspecting
user merrily clicking through the GUI, or there is a bug in that feature
in v7.
