There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is one possible approach to store general configuration, like ssids, the mac address, auth configuration. Pycom does it this way in their modwlan imlementation.
Another way would be to always get and set this information via the esp_wifi_get_mac and esp_wifi_set_mac.

Thanks for the contribution! The aim for us here is to make the user-facing API for the ESP32 port as similar as possible to the ESP8266, so that the same code can run on both. As such, the way to get/set the mac address would be via the wlan.config() method, ie wlan.config(mac=b'12341234') and wlan.config('mac'). Apart from that, let's wait for @nickzoic to merge the modsocket branch into the main esp32 branch before adding more features. |

Oh, I have oriented my development on the documentation for the Hardware API. It seems that there are multiple APIs documented. Is there any place where the APIs wanted for the esp32 are defined? |
Yes, please look here: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/library/network.html . We want the esp32 to be as similar as possible to the esp8266, so go by those docs as much as is possible. |

G'day Luaks, yeah I've implemented parts of network module but haven't filled in config() yet because I got distracted over in modsocket :-) ... if you can help out that's brilliant. You could probably just start by grabbing extmod/modlwip.c's version and adapting it one chunk at a time. |

wlan.config() was added in 41534f1. |
