Abstract
Embodiments of a system, apparatus and method for sharing wireless connection profiles between multiple OSs are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a first wireless connection may be established between a wireless communication device and an access point of a wireless network or one or more other devices of a peer-to-peer networking group while the wireless communication device is running in an OS. A wireless connection profile for the first wireless connection may be stored in a shared profiles storage associated with the device, and then may be retrieved from the shared profiles storage responsive to the device being booted in a different OS. A second wireless connection may be automatically established between the device booted in the different OS and the access point or the one or more other devices using the wireless connection profile retrieved from the shared profiles storage.
