They come from libphy. Can be disabled by providing a custom uart1 putc callback via ets_install_putc1.

I'll throw in a fix ASAP. Yesterday I was a bit too tired to push any more changes.

I type this..

setenv sta-mode hcp
and I get a boatload of control characters coming back
saveenv
again a boatload of control characters followed by the message "Writing environment to flash ... DONE"
reset
and it resets - but then when I type this

iwmode STA
iwconnect east-wing 1921681266

I get another load of control characters and it is not connecting to the access point. Nothing wrong with the access point as it works perfectly on other software.

I must be missing something - have I typed the right commands.. and what are all the control characters for???

Thought this would be a good thread to ask a specific question:

- is there a way to get the RSSI of the connected link in STA mode apart from disconnecting and doing a site scan?

Not with their 'wonderful' API. But you can scan without disconnecting.

I notice in their API documentation they have a 'promiscuous mode' but not too much information about how to use it.

I suppose a wifi_station_scan can be done with channel and bssid identifiers and that should theoretically execute faster.
