i mean literally http web cookies from the portal page. if you ignore
the network login app (as was the case before it worked reliably), it
shows up in your normal browser. This does remember cookies, so you
don't get asked if you want to accept cookies every time you go there.

What the portal does when it's presented with the cookie it gave you on
your last visit is, i think, a matter for the portal. My guess is that
it's probably *it* that would auto-connect you under whatever
circumstances it sees fit. Otherwise you just get the normal "Click to
connect" button.

I think *all* this needs is the support for, and storage of, HTTP
cookies from the portal, in whatever's providing the browser window
component of the Network Login app. My talk of auto-login stuff was just
confusing the matter, ignore it. :-)
