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

[Thomas Hood]

Based on the information you have provided so far I think that dnsmasq
is the most likely culprit so I will reassign this issue over there.

If you get your hands on an affected machine then please let us know so
that we can continue the investigation.


** Package changed: resolvconf (Ubuntu) => dnsmasq (Ubuntu)

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

Status in “dnsmasq” 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
