 Steps to reproduce problem in my case:
 boot haiku

 get wifi working (required that I fill in some info manually then set to
 static otherwise the link wouldn't come up)

 open Web+ acess login page (this nearly always works correctly)

 login

 Then several things may happen:
 redirects then locks up.
 redirects incorrectly back to login page.
 redirects correctly and then stops working after a few seconds or minutes.

 My school apparently uses Miro APs which have unencrypted access and block
 acess via mac address blocking (I think)

 wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 70:1A:04:46:C7:AC
           inet addr:192.168.16.146  Bcast:192.168.19.255
 Mask:255.255.252.0
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:2731 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:2601 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

           RX bytes:3072930 (2.9 Mb)  TX bytes:424746 (414.7 Kb)

 I can upload any logs that would be useful in debugging as I have haiku
 installed to my HD once again. There are possibly problems in several
 areas the browser the driver and the ip/dns configuration etc.... the
 driver seems fine it runs fast enough when it does connect. There is a
 open ap at another school I know of that I will also try on I imagine it
 works fine there.
