Is there a known issue with Wifi when using the Ardunio IDE?

Using the Arduino IDE with the latest stable ESP32 Package (version 1.0.4) and the current version of M5StickC-Plus library (version 0.1) I have been struggling to determine why wifi does not work on M5StickC-Plus devices. In each case WiFi.status() returns WL_NO_SHIELD. I tested the code on two different devices and I have noted others reporting the same issue.

The code in questions works fine on a M5StickC device so it would appear to be something specific to the Plus devices.

If you have any ideas on how to isolate this issue we would be appreciative.
