It seems it tries to be a standard thing: "WISPr was the first step toward standardizing HotSpot authentication."[0] Moreover, this is not the first time this protocol is around this list[1], although the answer was the same as the beginning of this thread [0]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WISPr [1]http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2007-September/msg00000.html Kind regards, -- Daniel Baeyens _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
