Describe the request

Communicate to the user that the "WiFi101 / WiFiNINA Firmware Updater" and "Upload SSL Root Certificates" features are not working because there is no access to the Internet.

Describe the current behavior

The "WiFi101 / WiFiNINA Firmware Updater" and "Upload SSL Root Certificates" features require access to the Internet. Currently, there is no indication for the user of why these tools will not work when they attempt to use them while the IDE does not have Internet access.

To reproduce

  1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
  2. Disconnect your computer from the Internet.
  3. Start the Arduino IDE.
  4. Connect a supported board to your computer.
    Examples:
  5. Select Tools > WiFi101 / WiFiNINA Firmware Updater from the Arduino IDE menus.
    🐛 The connected board is not listed under the "Select Board" menu and there is no indication of why.
  6. Click the X icon on the dialog.
  7. Select Tools > Upload SSL Root Certificates from the Arduino IDE menus.
    🐛 The connected board is not listed under the "2. Select destination board and upload certificate" menu and there is no indication of why.
