Description episteme promeneur 2012-02-07 18:23:44 CET
Description of problem:


add a new type of wlan connection : open wlan requiring to fill a template with id and password

for some hotspot 
when you activate a connection
if you try to access to any web address with your internet explorer
then
the hotspot send a web page which is a template to fill with an id and password
then
you can access to internet

this would very handy if the software which connects to the hotspot automaticaly send the id and password to the hotspot

thanks

(networkmanager/wicd can do that with some script)

Source RPM: (none) => drakx-net

Comment 2 episteme promeneur 2012-02-07 19:11:36 CET
i found a kind of script which do that



#!/bin/bash
KEY='' # identifiant freewifi, aller sur wifi.free.fr si vous ne l'avez pas encore
PASSWORD='' # mot de passe freewifi
 
sleep 3
while true ; do
  wget --quiet --no-check-certificate --post-data\
  'login='"$KEY"'&password='"$PASSWORD"'&submit=Valider'\
  'https://wifi.free.fr/Auth' -O '/tmp/free'
  sleep 1000
done

this script must be adapted to the mageia method i assume

mageia does not use either networkmanager or wicd

i follow the progress of plasma nm since one year
plamsa nm uses networkmanager

it seems now networkmanager is a mature technology

perhaps it would be a good thing that mageia use it ?

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

mageia 2 x86_64

still valid
Comment 7 Marja Van Waes 2015-04-19 14:13:27 CEST
Sorry, but this bug saw no action since more than 2 yrs ago. 
No cauldron package has stayed the same since then.

Closing as OLD

Please reopen if this report is still valid for _current_ cauldron and/or fully
updated Mageia 4

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD
