For a case where you have a wifi STA connection, but no IP address yet, you should see the ‘st’ network interface, but without an IP. In fact, the ‘st’ interface should appear as soon as you start the wifi client. What does ‘wifi status’ show you?

Trying to catch mine, between STA connected and IP assigned, this is what I get:

OVMS # wifi mode client STA
