It should work for a wireless access point, but my experience is that it fails sometimes.
If you're using WEP and can use an static IP address there is an alternative: I did long ago a script for connecting the iliad to my AP bypassing connectionmnager. It was quicker and didn't fail. Alas, when I sent my iliad for repairs, it was reflashed (?) and I lost my script.
If you're using WEP, I can try to write the script again. If you use WPA I cannot help because I don't have a WPA-enabled AP to test (so I don't have experience with the configuration of wpa_supplicant that would be needed for that case)...
P.S.: Can you test if it works with a wired connection?

With a little patience I was finally able to login and now it works reasonably consistently on non-secured wireless access points that don't require additional web-based authentication. This allows me to use it home and in coffee houses, which is good. But at work we have web-authenticated (multi-level) wireless access points and the iLiad has difficulty logging into them. The web authenticated access points will present a dynamically allocated internet protocol address but the subsequent use of the access point will redirect to an authentication page before allowing access. The iLiad login attempt fails. This is also the case for all paid-for internet wireless services like Boingo, but this is a great start.
