I just tried that and the result is "Hotspot detected blah blah" and it shows "Microsoft NCSI" as the hotspot login page. It does not actually let you use the browser this way.

Anyone know more?

EDIT: Oh, seems having \n in the ncsi.txt is bad. Let me check...

EDIT2: OK got it working, still says hotspot but "hotspot login successful" (?) now and then I can access LAN while WWW access is blocked.

I will wrap this into a mod later. It will serve ncsi.txt through a local webserver directly on the Kobo, so no changes necessary in your network.
