To expand on the subject line, I am searching for something like
Devicescape
(aka Easy Wi-fi) to handle automatic login to wireless networks.
I only need it for one of the wireless networks I use, which is located at my workplace. It's a typical (I think) public network with controlled access. The N900 can connect to the network automatically, but it cannot receive or send traffic until it attempts to load a web URL. It is then redirected to the network login page, where it is necessary to input username and password in the appropriate fields and press a button.
In other words, my N900 automatically switches from cellular to the wifi network when I arrive at work, but until I try to use the web browser I am offline. I need something that will automatically log me in as soon as the connection is established.
Could
Conler
do this? As far as I can tell, it's not available for Maemo 5, so the question is probably moot.
I found an intriguing
post
from last year on much the same topic. But what I don't know and haven't found after some Googling is whether a Bash script can be made to feed input to different fields on a web page.
Any advice on these or other solutions to the problem would be welcome and appreciated.
