Okay so I travel, and I enjoy using my pi-star hotspot. My issue is often I may not have a cellphone or mobile phone in the Caribbean or small islands or other countries. I am hoping others can offer suggestions or solutions For WIFI, example coffee shop wifi.
Often coffee shops are available, hence I would like to configure the hotspot wifi file to be configured with McDonald’s, Starbucks, Timhortons and other (POPULAR) free wifi. (total of 5) wifi with auto authentication.
HOW DO :: you setup the auto authentication for McDonald’s wifi ?????? With no key_mgmt=WPA-PSK used.
created a wpa_supplicant file and added to the boot directory of the SD card.
network={
#ssid="Mcdonalds"
ssid=Mcdonalds
scan_ssid=1
#psk="Xxx"
psk=Xxx
id_str="0"
priority=80
}
network={
#ssid="Tim Horton"
ssid=TimsHorton
scan_ssid=1
#psk="Xxxx"
psk=Xxxxx
id_str="0"
priority=70
}
network={
ssid="FirstSSID"
psk="password"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
id_str="0"
priority=68
}
network={
ssid="SecondSSID"
psk="password"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
id_str="1"
priority=66
}
Note :: I’ve also checked the documentation from Toshen, KE0FHS with no luck
Please show detailed examples what the file may look like ?????
Thanks,

Re: POPULAR free wifi auto authentication ?
I believe I saw what seems to be a popular reply
Public Wifi Issue
viewtopic.php?f=40&t=926
It does say something if many are asking the same same question ....
It can not be doneNo, it's been mentioned many times before in the FB group. Currently there's no method built into pi-star to aid you joining a 'captive portal'
You could usb tether too ur phone or laptop and use it to join the network, the pistar hotspot then gains access through the phone, laptop.

No need to thank me. Everyone, (Andy) did all the hard work on this. I just took 30secs out to make you all aware.
Glad you got it up and sorted and it's working for you.
