Hello,

I am a newbie to ESP8266 and have been using it with Nodemcu 0.9.5 build 20150318. However for certain commands I am getting error. Like

Command: wifi.setmode(wifi.NULLMODE)
Error: bad argument #1 to 'setmode' (number expected, got nil)

Command: =wifi.getphymode()
Error: attempt to call field 'getphymode' (a nil value)

Command: wifi.setphymode(wifi.PHYMODE_B)
Error: attempt to call field 'setphymode' (a nil value)

please help

The current docs for master do not apply to such an old version. I'd suggest that you build a recent version of the firmware with http://nodemcu-build.com/. Carefully read the instructions for upgrading firmware.

Thanks for the help. Got the issue resolved. Please also let me know if you can help me with setting up proxy for the access point for internet for the ESP8266 station to connect. I could not find it anywhere in the docs.

Sorry, no idea. I also can't find any reference for this use case.
