epoch cycles

[makerph]

Tried this and it successfully connect to my home network however epoch continues. Already applied the changes on /bin/pwnagotchi but seems that it does not to catch the mon down. Is there's any more files need to change? or there are any specific instructions to do it. Thanks

[troystauffer]

the pwnagotchi PR has been accepted and is part of the latest release. have you tried updating and running it since then?

just tried it with the latest image of pwnagotchi have this on log:

epoch still continuing even the monitor mode is disabled. Is this the normal behavior?

Edit: 6/25/2022

I just check this recently and verified it that the PR is indeed merge and included to v.1.5.5 however the epoch cycle still continuing .
