- 0 to disable auto connect and remain disconnected from access point
- 1 to enable auto connect and connect to access point, hence with `auto=1` there's no need to call [`wifi.sta.connect()`](#wifistaconnect) later
- `bssid` string that contains the MAC address of the access point (optional)
- You can set BSSID if you have multiple access points with the same SSID.
- Note: if you set BSSID for a specific SSID and would like to configure station to connect to the same SSID only without the BSSID requirement, you MUST first configure to station to a different SSID first, then connect to the desired SSID
