Description

Trying to set up Wifi of any form with the ESP32-H2, and am coming across the following error, suggesting that the wifi module is not properly installed for this version and ESP

Sketch

#include <iostream>
#include <WiFi.h>

const char* ssid = "home";
const char* password = "***";

void setup(){

    WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
    Serial.println("\nConnecting");

    while(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED){
        std::cout << "." << std::endl;
        delay(100);
    }

    std::cout << "\nConnected to the WiFi network" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Local ESP32 IP: " << std::endl;
    std::cout << WiFi.localIP() << std::endl;
}

void loop(){}

exit status 1

Compilation error: 'WiFi' was not declared in this scope

Other Steps to Reproduce

Attempting to verify or upload the code returns the error.

Reverting to previous versions, such as 2.0.14 stops this issue from happening, but ESP32-H2 is not supported in this version. Even the earliest version that has ESP32-H2 3.0.0 has this error

Hello @maxcraig112, the ESP32-H2 does not have Wi-Fi. The chip has IEEE 802.15.4 for Thread, Zigbee, Matter + Bluetooth 5 (LE). You can also check this list of supported/available peripherals for ESP32H2: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/6854#issuecomment-1617575263

you guys should add checks for these too just like the usb ones
