Document (lack of) standardized approach to persisting WiFi connection settings in README
From the #nerves slack:
fhunleth: As for persisting network settings, the
nerves_network
way was to do it yourself. The thought at the time was that application writers would know better how to do that, but that turned out to be a hurdle.
This is currently not mentioned in the README. I think it would be great to mention more clearly:
- That by default the runtime settings of
nerves_network
are ephemeral and are lost on restart. - That this is not something that
nerves_network
provides for you in any way. - That work is being done on
VintageNet
as alternative that has this functionality but that it is not finished yet.
