OK, I left work's network to try this out in a Starbucks which has
open WiFi and then authenticates with the web.  It is working from
here.  I'll try it next on a network that has WPA-PSK again.  It might
just be that my MAC was not registered on the work network.

Cedric, if you can update your code and also include the proper module
for iwnfw2000 that would be good.  I can add the module to the tree if
others want, but I'm not committing any code as Adrian is working with
you on that.

Best,
George
