void setup()
{

// We start by connecting to a WiFi network

Serial.println();
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Connecting to ");
Serial.println(ssid);

I traced the problem to the fololwing line of code in WifiGeneric.cpp

static bool _esp_wifi_started = false;

static bool espWiFiStart(){
if(_esp_wifi_started){
return true;
}
if(!wifiLowLevelInit()){
return false;
}
[b] esp_err_t err = esp_wifi_start();[/b]

if (err != ESP_OK) {
