What do your internet connection settings look like in the GConf repository?
Code:
gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP
Mine all look similar to the following, except for the 'type=GPRS' connection:
Code:
  /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<unique identifier>:
   http_check_status = no_login
   proxytype = NONE
   wlan_hidden = false
   wlan_security = WPA_PSK
   EAP_wpa_preshared_passphrase = <password>
   type = WLAN_INFRA
   autoconnect = true
   name = <connection name>
   wlan_ssid = <SSID in ASCII>
   EAP_wpa_preshared_key = <PSK in ASCII>
   ipv4_type = AUTO
Now I deleted and recreated all my network connections after connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com was working again.
I'm interested to see if a connection created while connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com was down, or connecting to a wifi hotspot with a landing page, is any different. In particular the keys I've highlighted in bold.
I suspect that once a connection is created and it has passed the connectivity test, these values are set and the connectivity is not tested for this connection again. If this is true, it should be possible to set these values for a connection created after connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com disappears forever.
