I started playing with wifi, I have a few things to report: - PcP is happy to activate both ethernet and wifi at the same time, and that's great. However if the active interface changes (eg disconnect ethernet) the LMS player disappears. Worse than that, a new one get created (due to the change in MAC I suppose), with the same name but options all set to default values. I think I needed a reboot to actually change the active interface on PcP (I was bored waiting for the LMS player to reappear), but PcP doesn't require or suggest rebooting. - When PcP activates the wifi interface, it connects but (I don't understand this) the arp table in the AP doesn't contain an entry for the PcP player. I use a script that mixes the reports of "/usr/sbin/hostapd_cli -i wlan0 all_sta" and "arp -i br0" to list clients address/name, make and connection time. My report was all messed up because all_sta replied with 3 MAC addresses, but arp only showed 1, my computer's. Perhaps the connect script could ping the AP? - When deactivating wifi, the interface doesn't disconnect from the AP. Again, you need a reboot to do that, but this isn't suggested by the web interface. I find the re-creation of an LMS player particularly disturbing, I suppose this is sorted by adding option "-m" to squeezelite. Recently I had a brush with bonding wifi and ethernet on a Pi, under Raspbian. Basically you need to set bonding in active-backup mode with fail_over_mac policy set to active. The bond changes its MAC to the one of the active interface, so wifi (re)authentication succeeds (besides the Pi's Broadcom interfaces don't support MAC spoofing, AFAIK). With Raspbian Jessie and systemd the ride to a working setup is a bit wilder than that, but after a while I got it working, even under DHCP. If you're interested, I posted my findings in 'this thread' (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=166355) over at raspberrypi's forums.
