Hi

thanks for the answer.

Aha. Indeed, going to Settings/WIFI is the only
way to make the icon appear that I know sofar.

I'm confused why this is not mentioned anywhere -
on my FR, not even MOFI will do anything before
I 'wake up the wifi chip' (by going to
Settings/WIFI).

It seems as if other users just always have their
WIFI on ? This comment [1] seems to suggest the same.
Not here, it's off by default.
