Haiku revision is r37183, so this bug may have been fixed meanwhile, but I
didn't read anything in the commits to this effect.
I have two network interfaces with Haiku drivers in my laptop. One is a
WiFi device, the other is wired. When I did not use the Network preflet
yet on a fresh installation, the wired device is auto-configured and used.
I believe the WiFi is also automatically used after using setwep on the
command line and when there is no wired connection. However after I used
the Network preflet for the first time, it generated an "interface"
settings file which includes some configuration for the WiFi adapter. The
auto-configuring wired adapter is not mentioned. Looking into the code of
the Network preflet, this is intentional. However, the wired adapter is
not anymore auto-configured after booting. I have to manually issue
"ifconfig /dev/net/ipro1000/0 auto-config" on the command line after each
boot to get working network.
