--ssid and --password options do not work about flash

[StefanScherer]

Thanks. Yes this does not work at the moment. With Hypriot 1.7.0 we have switched from device-init to cloud-init and now there is a boot/user-data file.
Seems like flash should write these two options into user-data write_files section.
At the moment you have to do that manually and also activate the WiFi sections.

@StefanScherer should the documentation be updated?

Thank you for your answer.
In the case of the URL method taught to you, I can not use "package-*" related description of "cloud-init". It is very inconvenient.
I need the options device - init.yml and --ssid and - password.

[StefanScherer]

@joevandyk Yes, I'm also thinking about to remove these options until we have a PR for that for cloud-init

I've also experimented the same problem.

Should the correct way to specify the wi-fi settings be to use the write_files section and add a custom wpa_supplicant.conf file put inside /etc/wpa_supplicant?

Here is a wpa_supplicant configuration that works for me with the 1.9.0 version of HypriotOS.

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=UK

network={
	ssid="SSID"
	psk="PASSWORD"
}

I agree that the user documentation should be updated.

Fixed with #165, but a prepared user-data file must be used with uncommented section.
