Pico W wireless not starting with 1.3.2 #76

I'm trying to get back into the Forth world with my Pico W, but it refuses to cooperate. I installed zeptoforth 1.3.2 (full-usb flavor), followed the instructions for installing zeptoIP, and tried the HTTP LED server. It gets stuck trying to start it.

Rebooted, tried the startup sequence documented in the installation guide manually. Everything works through the point where I set the country code. I set that to "US". Then I try my-cyw43-net init-cyw43-net and that hangs.

To confirm that the board is ok, I installed MicroPython on it. That works, it lets me enable the WiFi interface and connect to the Internet.

Release 1.3.2 is known to be buggy - zeptoIP did not work on that for me either. Please try release 1.3.2.2 as an rp2040_big and full_usb build, which works much better for me. If that still does not work, please quote the console output (as I had one person who got it to initialize but for whom it would get stuck in DHCP).

Works like a champ. Thanks!

One small suggestion: you might remind readers in BUILDING_AND_USING_ZEPTOIP.md to use rp2040_big and not plain rp2040. I did at first and of course the zeptoIP load failed. the README file says so but it would help to repeat it in the other place.
