One (new!) thing I'm concerned with, now that I've enabled it on my system, is the persistant tray notification. This is... confusing and ugly. Can we (for F23 if possible, and F24 if not) get better GNOME Shell integration here?
That's been on the TODO list for years, but it seems the hotspot detection mechanisms are not converging. The DNS interception and the HTTP interception really have to be handled together and an informed decision needs to then be made by the system. I believe that's been mostly due to lack of time for the various parties to sit down and plan and then program this further. Ideally, the dnssec-trigger DNS checks would be merged into the native hotspot testing.
I see that there's a "hotspot sign on" option if you right click on the icon. How does this work with Network Manager and GNOME's captive portal detection?
I have never seen those work except for when the backend was down and I got a stream of false positives. But possibly that is because I've used dnssec-trigger for years now and it might win the captive portal detection race. There are some bugs once in a while but overal it works pretty reliably.
