+Optionally on the ESP32 platform, using the `managed` atom in the configuration, the `ssid` and `psk` may be omitted and a connection will not be initiated immediately. This will allow for the use of `network:wifi_scan` to find available access points, and connecting with `network:connect/1`. When starting the driver in this mode all callback functions must be configured when the driver is started, and providing a callback for `disconnected` events is recommended, so the application can also control when, and to which access point, it will make a new connection.

However, the application may want to wait for the device to connect to the target network and obtain an IP address, for example, before starting clients or services that require network access.

 Callback functions can be specified by the following configuration parameters:
 
 * `{connected, fun(() -> term())}` A callback function which will be called when the device connects to the target network.
-* `{disconnected, fun(() -> term())}` A callback function which will be called when the device disconnects from the target network.
+* `{disconnected, fun(() -> term())}` A callback function which will be called when the device disconnects from the target network. If no callback function is provided the default behavior is to attempt to reconnect immediately. By providing a callback function the application can decide whether to reconnect, or connect to a new access point.
 * `{got_ip, fun((ip_info()) -> term())}` A callback function which will be called when the device obtains an IP address.  In this case, the IPv4 IP address, net mask, and gateway are provided as a parameter to the callback function.

+### STA (or AP+STA) mode functions
+
+#### `disconnect`
+
+The function `network:disconnect/0` will disconnect a station from the associated access point. Note that using this function without providing a custom `disconnected` event callback function will result in the driver immediately attempting to reconnect to the last associated access point.
+
+This function is currently only supported on the ESP32 platform.
+
+#### `connect`
+
+Using the function `network:connect/0` will start a connection to the last configured access point. To connect to a new access point use either a proplist consisting of `[{ssid, "Network Name"} | {psk, "Password"} | {dhcp_hostname, "hostname"}]`, or a complete `network_config()` consisting of `[sta_config() | sntp_config()]`.  If any callback functions or default scan configuration options are defined in the `network_config()` they will be ignored; default scan options and callback functions must be configured when the driver is started.

 ## AP mode
 
 In AP mode, the ESP32 starts a WiFi network to which other devices (laptops, mobile devices, other ESP32 devices, etc) can connect.  The ESP32 will create an IPv4 network, and will assign itself the address `192.168.4.1`.  Devices that attach to the ESP32 in AP mode will be assigned sequential addresses in the `192.168.4.0/24` range, e.g., `192.168.4.2`, `192.168.4.3`, etc.
