[Bug 993794] Re: Precise resolvconf+dnsmasq setup breaks logging in some wireless networks

[Thomas Hood]

I presume that the Ubuntu client associates to the access point and
acquires an IP address via DHCP.  Please let us know if this is not the
case.

When you observe the reported problem on the affected system, please
open a terminal and supply the console output of the following commands:

    ls -l /run/resolvconf /run/resolvconf/interface
    echo "=== /etc/resolv.conf ===" ; cat /etc/resolv.conf
    for F in /run/resolvconf/interface/* ; do echo "=== $F ===" ; cat $F ; done
    ps -elf|grep dnsmasq

Title:
  Precise resolvconf+dnsmasq setup breaks logging in some wireless
  networks

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug 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
