Network card not available on Lopy

Re: OSError: Network card not available

I am getting the same error as the referenced thread, but I just cannot seem to find what I'm doing wrong here. I'm using a Lopy and I'm simply trying to do a get request to an url just for testing. Here is my boot.py:

from machine import UART
import machine
import os

uart = UART(0, baudrate=115200)
os.dupterm(uart)

machine.main('main.py')

.. and here's my main:

from network import WLAN
import urequests as requests
import machine
import time

SSID = 'Altibox099473'
PASSWORD = 'SeKmLeMk'

wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
wlan.antenna(WLAN.INT_ANT)

# Assign your Wi-Fi credentials
wlan.connect(SSID, auth=(WLAN.WPA2, PASSWORD), timeout=5000)

while not wlan.isconnected ():
    machine.idle()
print("Connected to Wifi\n")

try:
    res = requests.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1")
    print(res)
    pass
except Exception as e:
    print("Request failed: " + str(e))
    pass

I'm using urequests found here: https://github.com/jotathebest/micropython-lib/blob/master/urequests/urequests.py

Really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Ok I finally got this to work! I was using the pycom fw upgrade tool tol flash my device with what I thought was the latest fw. Flashed my device with version 1.18.0 and it worked like a charm (latest version did not work, giving me another error..)

Why doesn't the firmware update tool flash the latest version?
