Support status for embedded:network/interface/wifi?

[cmidgley]

After not realizing that I should have used io and now having to port off the legacy websocket, I'd like to avoid that mistake again. I need to implement WiFi, and see that ECMA-419 has embedded:network/interface/wifi. Searching 5.0.0 doesn't find any implementation. Could you confirm that's the case and that I should proceed with implementation on the non-IO version?

You are correct: there isn't an implementation of this 2nd Edition module available yet. It somehow slipped through the cracks. My 419 focus at the moment is on 3rd Edition, but will add this to the to-do list. It shouldn't be too bad, though the unreliable and asynchronous nature of Wi-Fi tends to make it more complicated to get right than it might seem.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not dependent upon it - I can use the legacy WiFi for now and migrate later to 3rd edition if/when it becomes available.
