Station WiFI - connection to router

[FrenkR]

Hi,
using 0.9.4, I am trying to connect to wifi network by code.
After calling wifi_station_connect(), looks like everything is then automatic(reconnect, scanning WiFi networks).
Is there any way to disable this automation steps and doing this by myself?

My code looks like:
Step 1.:wifi_Station_set_auto_connect() ... to disable auto connection to WiFI
Step 2.:wifi_station_get_config() to get structure of configuration
Step 3.:wifi_station_set_config() ... instruction to which wifi to connect
Step 4.: wifi_station_dhcpc_stop() ...disable dhcp (I wan't to setup IP by myself not retrieve it from WiFi network)
Step 5.: wifi_set_ip_info() ... setup my IP address, mask and gateway
Step 6.:wifi_station_connect() ... start connecting to wifi
Step 7.:wifi_station_get_connect_status() ... using timer, check status of connection. if connection is not STATION_GOT_IP(range from STATION_WRONG_PASSWORD to STATION_CONNECT_FAIL), then call
Step 8.:wifi_station_disconnect() and start step 3.

Problem is, that system after calling wifi_station_connect() and when connection is broken, rescans and tries to reconnect to wifi automatically(when system detects unsucessful connect, it does step 8 and step 6 again). Is there any way to disable this behavior?
Also after loosing a connect to AP and automatic reconnection, it looks like that system does not initialize properly. After some time(e.g. 30 min) of constantly losing a connection, system cannot connect anymore. After restart, module connects itself again.

is there any API to totally initializi WiFi infrastructure that can be called before connection?

Rgds,
Frenk

There is a problem of calling wifi_station_get_connect_status() with static ip, we have solved it. http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=104

-> call wifi_station_disconnect() to disconnect a router, we won't connect to it automatically ; call wifi_Station_set_auto_connect(0); we won't connect to router automatically when power on.

-> Sorry that I'm a little confused what are you asking.. Can you offer more information like some logs ? what is the connection means ? TCP connection or wifi connection to a router ?

wifi connection to a router.

is there any way to get callback immediately after status wifi_station_connect() is set to IDLE or range from STATION_WRONG_PASSWORD to STATION_CONNECT_FAIL?
Right now, after calling wifi_station_connect(), I have timer that checks wifi connection every 1 second. From debug window, I see that if connection is broken, system automatically tries to reconnect again. For me, better option would be callback function on status change. In callback, I would disconnect, (re)initialize parameters and connect again with some delay.

Currently I have only UART1 debug info on GPIO2. Is there any setup (API) to get more detailed (debug) info about connecting to wifi (station mode)?

Sorry , we don't have that callback right now.. But we will think it over..

Our OS version SDK will meet your requirement soon...
