On campus they recently started making Wifi users enter a simple WPA passphrase to get onto the network. This is an attempt to stop people from sniffing unencrypted wireless, which is a noble cause. But...

The network also uses a walled garden where you have to enter your campus username and password. On the open wireless network, iOS was nice enough to bring up the web page so you can log in, regardless of what app you were trying to use. However now that the network has WPA it no longer does this. You have to manually go over to Safari, navigate to a random page, log in, and go back to the app you want to use.

Is there a way to get iOS to provide the login dialog on a WPA-encrypted network? I can't find an option for this anywhere, and it's gotten quite irritating to have to keep going back to Safari every time the campus Wifi times out my session. :p
