In essence you are right…

However, Martin’s guide was written a long time ago and the standard Raspbian image has moved on to allow the wifi settings to be introduced to an image by adding a `wpa_supplicant.conf` file to the `/boot` partition before placing it into a Pi and that gets **moved** to the right location at boot up.

So to avoid the symlinkling being undone at first boot (the `/boot` copy moved into place deleting the symlink) you must use a different file name eg “wifi.conf”. See [Wifi config on Pi Zero using emonSD](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/wifi-config-on-pi-zero-using-emonsd/7020) and [Using wpa\_supplicant.conf file on the emonSD boot partition - #27 by bernamorillo](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/using-wpa-supplicant-conf-file-on-the-emonsd-boot-partition/5691/27) discussions as this has been suggested, tried and tested before, but AFAIA not adopted on the emonSD image. It not only allows pre-configuration on a Pi, but in doing so it accommodates the Pi zero too, without impairing the existing emonSD setup (re RO OS and wifi module, untested on latest image)
