Auto-reconnect Wifi

If you have some issue for reconnecting your WiFi at system startup, then this tip might save you some time.

Indeed there's a known bug in Haiku for WiFi auto connect after boot which is still open.

Below is the workaround if this bug affect your machine.

In order to add a reconnect of your WiFi at boot time, you will need to open a Terminal and modify the "UserBootscript" file, up to the Pe editor with the below :

lpe /boot/home/config/settings/boot/UserBootscript &

Then at the end of the file, add this line :

( sleep 5; /bin/ifconfig /dev/net/networkcard/0 join SSID password ) &

You need to replace :

• SSID by your WiFi connection ID
• password by your WiFi password.
• networkcard by the name which is displayed in the Network preferences as per below

Or if you have a doubt, you can check your network card in your Terminal:

ls /dev/net/



When you restart your system, your WiFi should now reconnect like a charm !
