Name of Project
NetworkManager Web Authentication
Description
NetworkManager knows how to connect to many different types of networks, both wired and wireless, and can auto-authenticate to WEP and WPA networks. However, it can't auto-authenticate to networks that require a web-based login, which includes many wired and wireless networks such as SeneNET and AirYork.
Modify NetworkManager so that it talks (though dbus) to a Firefox extension for automatic login to a web-authenticated network.
Resources: ctyler, (roc, callion for dbus)

- None
Contribution Opportunities
- Test on different web-authenticated networks (0.2 or 0.3 release)
- list of network devices (eth0, wlan1, etc) that may need web login
- Keeping directory structures intact when exporting files during build (see this blog post for more details)
