2012-05-24 13:49:27 Scott Moser description Hi, our academic wifi, is protected with authentication practiced with a web page. The wifi network looks to be open to anyone, but to operate it after having connected the wifi you need to open a web page. This will automatically redirect you to an authentication page and after you are authenticated you can work on the wifi. The problem is that with precise you can never get to the authentication page, since its url cannot be resolved. The thing used to work fine with previous ubuntus and works fine with Windows. Thanks in advance for looking into it. Sergio Hi, our academic wifi, is protected with authentication practiced with a web page.
