wl.isconnected() timeout possible?

[misterlisty]

Just came across a scenario i have never experienced. If i am trying to connect to a wifi ap and it never connects, how do i get it to continue the rest of the code?

from network import WLAN
import os
import time
import machine 
import pycom
# len([item for item in os.listdir() if fname==item])>0



wl = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)

wl.connect("xer", (WLAN.WPA2, "0996"), timeout=10000)
print("_connect_wifi::Connected to with IP address:",wl.ifconfig())
time.sleep(1) 
while not wl.isconnected():     #it could lock here for ever!!!!
    machine.idle() # save power while waiting  
    time.sleep(5) 
    print("not connected to wifi yet..")
    
pycom.heartbeat(True)
print("_connect_wifi::Connected to with IP s:",wl.ifconfig())
