Hey! First of all, congrats for the amazing library! You guys are making a very nice job here.

So, my question it's very simple. I'm already blinking a LED when the connection is lost and while the device is connecting. But I would like to blink slowly if the device is connecting (during the ConnectTimeout time) and blink faster if the config portal is available (during the ConfigPortalTimeout time). Which register can I use to identify the status of the device (trying to connect or on the config portal).

Sorry for the dumb question, but I didn't found the answer by myself.

Thanks!
