I managed to get it working on a university wifi network using wpa_supplicant. A quick
search through my notes indicates I no-longer have the relevant wpa_supplicant.conf
file, though. The laptop would automatically connect to the network, I'd open a browser
which would automatically be redirected to the university's wifi login page, enter my
credentials and it'd connect. The config file had a ton of notes about the different options
available and which ones were necessary for the connection to succeed.
