Thank you for your feedback.

I do not know why wpa_supplicant.conf was wiped out. As for having a backup ready for cases in need, I might mention that KSM does offer some support for important files. With "tools" > "back up and restore" > "back up" > ... (or similar) one can create a compressed back up with timestamp; and with "tools" > "back up and restore" > "restore" > ...{TIMESTAMP} one can restore the file.

KSM waits a certain time at most for the ip to become available. If the time is over and the ip still not available, KSM shows the home screen without displaying the ip.

This is as expected. (*) I regard usbnet as the primary network for accessing the reader by the webinterface. With usbnet the connection stays on when one starts nickel so that one can do some experiments while nickel is running. However, when nickel starts while wifi is on, nickel becomes unresponsive. Therefore, KSM has to disable wifi, when it starts nickel. If you then connect to wifi from inside of nickel, the webinterface does work again.
(*)One might prevent nickel from starting by selecting something (I would select "toggle between full menu and ... "), or one can "Kill KSM" from the webinterface (But I would like to write another post with some explanations before people play to much with the webinterface).

On of the last things I did on this package was that I replaced the old fmon by the new one by Baskerville. I am not sure whether this is related. And I did not note any regularity up to now.

Sounds like a good idea.
