Connecting to wifi broken for new builds #43

Closed johnnyman727 closed 8 years ago

johnnyman727 commented 8 years ago

Will be fixed by #41.

Smoke Test: Use the python flashing tools to overwrite a Tessel with the latest OpenWRT build. We have to use the python tool because it actually erases memory whereas sysupgrade preserves some files like wireless configuration. Then run t2 wifi -n SSID -p PASS from the CLI. Because the ap is enabled by default and doesn't have all the required fields, wireless configuration is broken

FYI: the firstboot command will reset to the openwrt configuration in squashfs, throwing out everything in the overlay.

sysupgrade also has a -n option that doesn't preserve settings from the overlay. https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/sysupgrade

That's really useful to know for when we test these new builds. Thanks @kevinmehall!
