To top it off, visitors are seeing a message that I would rather supress. It would be better if the wifi worked until the battery was 100% dead -- at least that way it would not be confusing for our patrons.
Well, about the message part, I dunno. But why do you have to kill the kiosk client to reenable wifi. Seems like you just need to recharge the battery (or better yet have a spare around) and then reenable the wifi with a press of a button...
