Wifi (re)connect after power failure

[eSPee]

Hi all,

I am running Tinycorelinux 9.x (armv6) on a headless zero w pi connected by wifi.

Last night my house had a power failure. Both my pi and router went down (no UPS).
After the power came back on the pi was not able to (re)connect to the router wifi.
I expect the Pi boots faster than the router so router wifi wasn't up yet when the Pi was looking for it.

How do i configure tinycore so that it will keep looking for wifi availability, to avoid this problem?

Help is much appreciated! thnx!

Hi eSPee
I presume you are using  wifi.sh  for your wireless
connection. That being the case:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo wifi.sh -?
Usage:
  Default select AP from menu and request IP via DHCP.
  -a Auto connect to first wifi.db entry via DHCP.
  -p Select AP from menu and prompt for IP configuration type.
  -w Wait indefinitely until lease is obtained
  -? Displays this help message.
tc@box:~$
Try adding the  w  option to the  wifi.sh  command.
I suspect the command is in  /opt/bootlocal.sh.
