[Bug 993794] Re: Precise resolvconf+dnsmasq setup breaks login in some wireless networks

[Stéphane Graber]

Yep, the official way of turning dnsmasq off in NM is simply to comment
the entry in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

That's covered in http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-
ubuntu-12-04/ (linked from the 12.04 release notes)

Bug description:
  Hi,

  our academic wifi, is protected with authentication practiced with a
  web page. The wifi network looks to be open to anyone, but to operate
  it after having connected the wifi you need to open a web page. This
  will automatically redirect you to an authentication page and after
  you are authenticated you can work on the wifi.

  The problem is that with precise you can never get to the
  authentication page, since its url cannot be resolved.

  The thing used to work fine with previous ubuntus and works fine with
  Windows.

  Thanks in advance for looking into it.

  Sergio
