Problem Description
The changes made in PR #6026 by @d-a-v makes WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED become true whenever one activates static IP via WiFi.config. This was not the case before the change, and it also seems strange that the status would be connected even when no connection has been made, so it is likely a bug. Calling WiFi.disconnect() after static IP activation makes WiFi.status() return 0 (WL_IDLE_STATUS), as was the case before the PR change.
MCVE Sketch
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
void activateStaticIP()
{
// WiFi mode does not matter
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
//WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP_STA);
WiFi.config(IPAddress(192,168,4,22), IPAddress(192,168,4,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0));
}
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
WiFi.persistent(false);
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(50); // Wait for Serial.
Serial.println();
Serial.println();
WiFi.disconnect();
activateStaticIP();
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
Serial.print("status pre " + String(WiFi.status()));
if(WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED)
Serial.println(", this means WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED");
else
Serial.println();
WiFi.disconnect(); // Adding this disconnect seems to fix WiFi status.
Serial.println("status post " + String(WiFi.status()));
delay(3000);
