I wanted to turn wifi off on my board to check out how much memory it would release. Unfortunatly I trap into infinite trying to boot. Firstly I get:

>ESP32.enableWifi(false)
Erasing saved code.
Done!

I know that re-flashing helps to "fix" the board but I need t0 find a way to turn wifi off.
I will be much thanksful for your advice.

@jumjum was this working in other releases?

I only have in mind a problem if wifi and BLE, both are switched off
