No. Wifi Assistant will not help you with that problem.

It's off-topic for this thread, which is about a utility to open web pages when certain networks are connected to.

I suggest you open a new thread, or call Nokia Care.

Just a question out of curiousity - is there no automatic redirection taking place if you try access http://wendt.se/ or any similar non-Virgin web site before logging in at startsession.php?

Re: [Announce] Wifi Assistant
 
Is there some de facto "standard" what password would work, if someone wants to keep open WLAN access point but still has encryption set ON?

They are changing the law in my country, to allow connect all un-protected WLAN-networks without needing to ask permission. It is assumed by the new law, that anyone is capable to set up encryption and password if wants to keep his/her WLAN private only. If the WLAN is open, it is assumed the owner lets others to use it.

But I think, there should also be standard password to try if someone wants to provide also public WLAN access point, but still wants random "customers" to use encrypted connections.

If not such standard exist, RFC-draft:
I'd suggest "guest" as a password, or if longer needed "guestguestguest" and if only numbers, then 48378, or if longer deciman or hexadecimal needed, then repeating until enough 4837848378483. "48378" is "guest" in T9-code.
(Right now I do not remember what all kind of passwords would be needed in all WPA,WPA2,WEP,*.)

I've just pushed version 0.9.1 out (waiting for the build as I write this, and also waiting for Bugzilla team to add a new version to the product).
If you feel you can't wait, install the .deb file from https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1777

This is a stabilization and bug fix release. Among the fixes (spaces in SSID/Network names have been fixed as well):
* fixed Bug #11198 - list of network names are not sorted
* fixed Bug #11199 - about dialog doesn't show program version
* fixed Bug #11209 - "no settings" displayed after adding a new network
* fixed Bug #11210 - launch dialog is disabled after installation
* "silent" support for per SSID URL in GConf

Re: [Announce] Wifi Assistant
 
To manually set a URL for a specific network name in gconf (that's where wifi assistant settings are saved), this is what you'd need to do:

0. Ctrl+Shift+X opens a terminal
1. Find the name used to store settings for the network you're after (I'm using limbergwendt here as an example)

~ $ gconftool-2 --all-dirs /apps/maemo/wifi_assistant
/apps/maemo/wifi_assistant/Telia__Internet
/apps/maemo/wifi_assistant/CSWLAN
/apps/maemo/wifi_assistant/skerrywendt
/apps/maemo/wifi_assistant/limbergwendt2
/apps/maemo/wifi_assistant/limbergwendt
/apps/maemo/wifi_assistant/NOMAD
/apps/maemo/wifi_assistant/default_settings

2. Now set the URL to open (http://wendt.se/) for the network in question (limbergwendt):

~ $ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /apps/maemo/wifi_assistant/limbergwendt/options/url 'http://wendt.se/'

Done.

Re: [Announce] Wifi Assistant
 
As a summary: Wifi Assistant has nothing to do with setting up the network link (GSM PIN, WPA keys etc). I wrote it to scratch my itch which was that at work, whenever my phone was disconnected for 30 minutes or more, the next time it connected, all web requests where intercepted and redirected to a Captcha test page which had to be completed before any connections were passed on to the Internet.

Never heard of any "standard" passwords. You might want to look at http://www.fon.com/en/ for a solution to share Wifi with peers. They might have defined their "standard" password?

Interesting. What country is this?

There's redirection, but if I connect to that URL it's the equivalent of clicking the "I agree to the T&C" button; meaning the connection is established and things like IM & Modest can connect through without further interaction.

That's why I want per-network URLs, so that I can customise it to the URL necessary to auto-connect through and actually get online.

If you don't want to wait, you should be able to download and use the deb file here: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...stant/0.9.1-2/

And if you do and you find that it works well, please vote thumbs up. If not, please report here in this thread or register a bug in Bugzilla: https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi...fi%20Assistant

You're old settings will not survive (basically you'll get asked once more whenever you connect to a new network, but that's about it).
