That function was still there and working as recently as iOS 9.2, although it was flagged with a deprecated warning. But now, without any notice, either by accident or by design, it's present but busted in 9.2.1. We thought Apple was going to devise some other way to simply retrieve the SSID name and phase over to it in iOS 10.0. Not interested in the 'hotspot' route, which requires a blessing from "home base' anyway (and most people I know of have been denied it). This will screw us up bigtime. -Carl _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
