If you have something like this, please post it.
I haven't set it up to run automatically from NM yet, but I wrote a Twill[1] script for authenticating to an AT&T wifi access point: #!/usr/bin/env twill-sh go http://google.com find AT&T fv 1 username <fillin> fv 1 password <fillin> fv 1 aupAgree 1 submit It just uses Google as a site to attempt to access to see if it's still getting redirected. It will attempt to find "AT&T" in the page indicating it needs to authenticate, and will exit if the text wasn't found. Users will obviously need to fill in the username and password values it submits. -- Matt Good [1] http://twill.idyll.org/ _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
