My Hotel WiFi requires me to login with a user name & password after connecting to the hotspot. So, my browser would open a page with user name & password fields to login and then connect to the Internet.

But unfortunately, Firefox & Chromium don't seem to work. I don't think it is browser related but a setting for the WiFi router or driver which is creating this issue.

Using Broadcom 801.11 STA wireless driver (proprietary). Tried open source as well but same result.

The image linked below shows my WiFi connection setting & Chromium. The login page itself comes up after a long time and after entering the credentials, it keeps loading for ever. It's the same for every other browser. So I don't think it's a browser issue but something to do with WiFi setting or network manager stuff.

Interestingly, I am able to connect to WiFi networks using WPA without any issue. Adhoc hotspot is a problem and that is my regular home network. I hope I can get some help solving this issue!

I have tried repeating the same hotspot after login from my android, by creating a virtual repeater with WPA key and it works. I can browse on Ubuntu using this method but cant be doing this regularly! I tried loading the same login page of the hotel WiFi while browsing through my repeater WiFi created on the mobile and attached a screen shot below. The page loads up quick and easy. Does this means something is wrong with the way network manager handles adhoc connectivity & login?? I installed wicd0 but it crashes on startup and is not helpful at all!

I wonder why is the wireless configured under eth1? I think this is a bug with earlier Ubuntu versions, but is this normal in 13.10 or is there a wrong configuration here?

The wireless device in my pc is BCM4313 and I have installed the bcmwl-kernel-sources, wireless-tools to support the device. I also reinstalled the bcmwl-kernel as suggested on broadcom website, via synaptic package manager.

Nothing has changed this situation!

I tried booting into a LiveUSB and then ifconfig results show the wireless under wlan0. But then the wireless connects and loads the login page. So is the problem with the device configuration now?

I really want to get this fixed before I start configuring the other stuff like ATI graphics and such on the laptop for overheating. Lack of Internet access is too bad a bug for me. Any help is appreciated!
