standalone transport node not working (XIAO ESP32S3+Wio-SX1262)

[unosonic]

hi, I've configured my XIAO ESP32S3+Wio-SX1262 as a standalone transport node. Double checked all settings via serial rnode-console https://attermann.github.io/rnode_console/, including a probe and nomadnet destination. This all works (i.e. probe dest answers to probes, nomadenet shows status page), BUT ONLY when the ESP32S3 is connected to a host and when the serial port is opened. If I boot the board on a USB power supply without any computer connected, it seems not to work, i.e. no announces, not answering to probes, no nomadnet etc. Am i missing something here?

Hey< I am having a problem (and it seems to only be in newer versions of the firmware) where the node will change from TNC mode (transport node) back to HOST mode (non-transport mode).
