With 1.6 release and with current git head, after selecting 'config wifi/ap mode' on the UI the UI freezes and the box is unresponsive. Serial log:

CMenuApMode()
SetupWebInterface()
Loop time: 514, batt: 100
CAnalogueCapture::stop()
CAnalogueCapture::stop() done
CMenuApMode::wifi_scan(): Start scanning for wifi networks
CWifi::init(): wifi/cyw43 init success
dhcp_release_and_stop()

Since this is a new box I've not had this working yet

Oh, this might be #25 I'll try that!

Okay, this is #25 and our friends box has the same problem, so suggest adding a note to the discussion from the docs for now until there's a solution. Updated title of this issue

Thanks for reporting this - I'm going to treat this more as a bug in the design (poor choice of MOSFET as you've identified), than just a documentation issue. Although short term, I agree that's a good idea.

Added to known issues, will look for a more suitable mosfet

I had a spare schottky 1A diode around, a IN5818. The leads on this diode are quite thick but the holes are just big enough (if you clean up the solder from removing the bs250). Between pins 1 (+) and pin 3 (-/ring) and this solves the wifi issue.

Ahh cool, good to know it works, thanks for letting me know. I'm going to try a smaller diode when it arrives, and update BoM & build notes to match
