Raspberry Pico W: Hangs after WLAN deinit() #17621

@SmokeyBrandie

Description

@SmokeyBrandie

Port, board and/or hardware

pico w

MicroPython version

MicroPython v1.25.0 on 2025-04-15; Raspberry Pi Pico W with RP2040

Reproduction

import network
import time
from time import sleep
import urequests
import gc

WLAN_SSID = 'MYSSID'
WLAN_PASSWORD = '123'

wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)

counter = 1
while True:
    print('Start round {}'.format(counter))

    wlan.active(True)
    wlan.connect(WLAN_SSID, WLAN_PASSWORD)

    for i in range(20):
        if wlan.isconnected():
            break
        print('Trying to connect... Status is: ', wlan.status())
        time.sleep(1)

    if wlan.isconnected():
        response = urequests.get('https://www.google.com')
        response.close()

    print('Deactivate WLAN...')
    print('Memory alloc {}'.format(gc.mem_alloc()))
    print('Memory free {}'.format(gc.mem_free()))

    wlan.disconnect()
    wlan.active(False)
    wlan.deinit()

    print('Sleeping...')
    time.sleep(5)
    counter += 1

Expected behaviour

Should not hang

Observed behaviour

This script works approx. 10-30 times and then it suddenly hangs. It seems to be the
deinit() function which causes the freeze.

I tested several pico w hardware, but same problem.
