Arduino Plugin not connecting to Access Point wifi

[stevenseh@gmail.com]

I am using Powerline wifi at my home. Apparently the connection to my ESP8266 over wifi only works through "access point" wifi. I can get the ESP8266 to connect to my wifi in the sketch using the following code:

WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP);
WiFi.softAP(ssid, pass);
WiFi.config(ip,gateway,subnet);
WiFi.begin();

This replaces the standard code

WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
WiFi.config(ip, gateway, subnet);
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

However, further code in the plug-in prevents the board to connect.

Is there a patch for this available?

Thanks for looking into this!
