Here I sit in my hotel room with my Cubie armv7 server with Centos7.

They have an ethernet cable here, so most likely I will not need to resort to putting a WiFi USB dongle and trying to master nmcli.

But I have to web authenticate to their portal with my personal information. Is that possible with a text web browser? I seem to recall that Centos has one. What to install?

Of course, catch-22 here. How to install it to have the tool to authenticate!

Going to have to go down to the conference ethernet cafe. Oh well.

Have a fun night, all.

I came across an interesting script[1] recently for automating web authentication. It might be helpful in the circumstances you describe.
