From https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687240 """ From bug #684953, I learned that NetworkManager has a very nice feature allowing you to detect network states where you're behind a captive portal and can't yet access the interwebs. I doubt empathy uses this already, but if not, it should. It would rock not to have empathy spamming me about failed connection attempts while I haven't yet authenticated to the network. See also: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=267bc993a710ec3923b6f243cb6a4b047fa49ec4 """
I think the right way to do this would be to have a GNetworkMonitor not say we're "fully connected" until we can get out past the captive portal. ConnMan does that.
