Loggon to Internet Hotspot from within Linux Terminal
- by Saif Bechan
For internet I use a local Hotspot service. I have internet when I start my browser and fill in my username and password. This stays as long as I do not shut down my PC for a while.
I run some virtual machines, centos, debian, from the command line. I run these just for small test purposes, nothing special, and security is not an issue for me at all.
I want to have these VM's connect directly to the hotspot if this is possible. So they each have there own IP. I have enough hotspot accounts to do so. I can do this with a bridged connection in VMware which works find with a GUI. But I run these OS's from the command line.
I only need to know a way how to get the hotspot to validate my credentials. Is there a way of doing this without having a gui.
