+  Get the time in seconds since January 1st, 1970.
+
+  The time is retrieved with the WiFi module by fetching the NTP time from an NTP server.
+
+  It requires at least version 0.5.0 of USB Wifi bridge firmware and WiFiS3 library.
+
+  This example is written for a network using WPA encryption. For
+  WEP or WPA, change the WiFi.begin() call accordingly.
