Cant connect to network that requires browser authentication

[odisseus]

Hi, guys.
I'm new to mageia and am having this issue.
I can easely connect to my normal wi-fi at many places.
Bit at my work, I havê a connection without password. The authentication is made after connection putting a login and password at the browser in a page I am redirected to.
I usualy could do it with no problema when I was running fedora. But now with margeia I cantora even connect to this network.
Can anyone help me?

My lspci returno that:

02:00.0 Network controle: Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Natwork Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

What Mageia version do you use? Which desktop environment do you use? Do you use net_applet or NetworkManager?
Please provide the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

lspcidrake -v | grep -i -e net -e wireless -e wifi
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -ie net -e wpa


and, as root:

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a
rfkill list all
systemctl status network.service -a
journalctl -ab | grep -iE "fw|firmware|iwl|wifi|wire|80211"

That wifi connection at work, does it have a hidden SSID?

I can say, just to give the poster some though that our wifi at work that employees are allowed to use works exactly the same.

connect over unencrypted open network.

the browser is then forced through a transparent proxy to authenticate a username/password.

and that allows you through the proxy.

I use this with mga 1,2,3 and 5 no problem at all using firefox/palemoon as my browser.
