This may be a dumb question, but how can I remove the WiFi configuration on a device in order to test wifi-connect?

I was able to remove the configured WiFi connections using nmcli from the host:

Connection 'resin-wifi-01' (a58e405d-fdc2-3649-9339-5bbaea740c76) successfully deleted.

(Network disconnects and the WiFi Connect captive auth enabled SSID appears, and I run through that process.)

If I reboot the device, the new connection is still present and the connections originally configured on the SD card come back (the resin-wifi-01 connections):

This is pretty good for testing WiFi Connect, since a reboot corrects and issues I may cause. :slight_smile:
