Topic: connecting to wifi network that requires username and password

I would like to use my chumby 8 where I work.
The wifi network there requires a username and password (which I know).
I have seen some hacks that imply that a Chumby can be made to connect to such a network.
The explaination of the hacks is way beyond my understanding.
Can anyone provide instructions for a novice with basic computer knowledge and many years of computer use?
I won't necessarily understand everything, but I can follow simplified instructions very well.
Thanks.

Re: connecting to wifi network that requires username and password

use my offline firmware to boot up, use the built in webbrowser to get to your network login page, enter username and password, connect it up and then pull out the usb drive and reboot.
as long as the network doesnt expire the session immediately and has a time delay of at least 5 min, you are good to go.

That's a brilliant use of your offline firmware, zurk, and one I hadn't realized was possible.  Nice work!
