Hi Sailoog,
not a real bug, rather a question:
my installation is headless, with OP mainly multiplexing NMEA streams, any configuration is done wireless via VNC and a tablet, OP acts as AP.
Last week I was on the boat, preparing for the next season, afterwards I took the RPi home - but left the WiFi-dongle on the boat. To download some files, I put it on wired internet, but when I came back to the boat, the WiFi AP configuration had disappeared. So I had to take it back home, with the dongle, reactivate AP and return to boat....
I don't know if this is expected behaviour. Personally, I would just love to keep the AP activated, even if no dongle is plugged into the Pi. So to have AP back as soon as the dongle gets re-plugged, without interaction needed.
maybe a switch to keep the AP configuration persistent over reboot?
Thanks for your work!
Christian
