Alas, it does not work, and Orange WiFi have also had calls from
MacOS X people who can't get this to work. So I imagine the problem is
slightly different.
Authentication is done through a web-browser, whither one is
directed after logging on for the first time. When the lease is
revoked, all network services are blocked until authentication
details are entered through the web-browser again.
I am not running any firewall software on this laptop.
Also, probably should have mentioned:
