wait-for-wifi.sh not working reliably when called from dash.sh about kindle-dash

And I'm an idiot — of course it works when called directly; I only updated the default value in wait-for-wifi.sh, not the main environment script! Thanks for letting me rubber duck this here.

This is now fixed on the main branch.

Oh interesting... I also ran into something similar. In fact, I was just here to open a similar issue.

In my case, I have a Ubiquiti router which uses a self-signed cert. I think perhaps that's why? I changed the IP address wait-for-wifi.sh checks to 1.1.1.1 and it worked okay.

Caveat: I don't know if this was the cause, it just happened to be the one variable I changed and when I ran dash.sh, it correctly loaded the test image.

@julianlam I also had an issue with the default IP; I just changed that to a different local IP on my network and it worked fine when called directly.

Still not sure why this while loop is failing, but definitely a good first debugging step for others to try swapping in a different IP before digging further!

[julianlam]

Well, while we're here -- perhaps the default IP should be changed to something external (say, 1.1.1.1 again)?

Hey sorry about that, the current default indeed is not very reliable across different network setups. I'll change the default to 1.1.1.1.
