Bug Description
On Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS Focal Fossa the web page to log on to public wireless networks does not open. Without this, it is not possible to access public networks in cafes and hotels. It neither works with Firefox, Chrome nor Konqueror. I could ping the gateway so the redirection to the web login page seems to fail. In Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10, the login page opens as expected on the same machine.
