there appears to be some issue with the Wifi AP setting.
When I disable AP and change the SSID to another name (in my case from OpenPlotter to shipLAN) , then enable AP again everything looks fine, refresh is fine BUT when I reboot the old SSID is used and shown!
Miraculously in the Network Connections under WiFI the new name is shown but as "last Used = never"
Observations:
- I did not change any connections when rebooting but I noticed that the reboot holds-on for some seconds before continuing, similar to some conflict handling.
- I tested with internet connection sharing set to none/wlan0 and eth0 - made no difference.
- could only set value to wlan1 when wlan tongle was inserted - would like to just hotplug-in a wlan tongle already configured as wlan1 with fixed IP connecting to my hub.
- since I rebooted without the wlan1 inserted I observed the issue with the undesired naming reset.
Are there any config files which I need to delete?
Thanks for advise.

did some further testing and have found the bug: config.txt file does not get updated with new AP settings.
workaround when changing AP SSID is therefore to manually change the config.txt entries.
BTW could you please add in config.txt also a setting for i/n connection share to enable what I was describing above.
