RP2 - Pico 2 W

MicroPython version

MicroPython v1.25.0-preview.229.g0d46e45a1 on 2025-01-27; Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W with RP2350

Reproduction

import timeimport _threadimport urequestsSSID = ""password = ""def connect_normal():    wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)    wlan.active(True)    wlan.connect(SSID, password)    print("Connecting to network")    start_time = time.time()    while not wlan.isconnected() and time.time() - start_time < 20:        print("Waiting for connection...")        time.sleep(2)    if wlan.isconnected():        print("Connected to network")    else:        print("Failed to connect to network")    print("Sleep for 2 seconds")    time.sleep(2)    wlan.disconnect()    def main_thread():    connect_normal()def second_thread():    for (i) in range(10):        print("Second thread")        time.sleep(2)_thread.start_new_thread(second_thread, ())main_thread()

Other things tested but not working:

• Extending the 20-second time limit.
• Puttingwlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF),wlan.active(True), andwlan.connect(SSID, password) before starting a thread.
• Switching the functionsconnection_normal andsecond_thread to run in the other thread. So the connection is made on the newly opened thread.
• Building firmware with the latest Pico SDK develop
• Addingrp2.country("NL") andnetwork.country(country).

Expected behaviour

Expected to connect to the network and printConnected to network.

Observed behaviour

No connection is established after the set time of 20 seconds. (Time is irrelevant as it never seems to connect). When the line_thread.start_new_thread(second_thread, ()) is commented out, a connection is found almost every single time.
