How to connect Starbucks Free Wifi on my Debian?

Starbucks provides free Wifi at stores. We can use this free Wifi at Starbucks with registering some informations from at_STARBUCKS_Wi2.

But there is no explanation how to connect their wifi by Linux commands. This stands to reason because there is few people to use Linux as their own device. So, I organize this step by myself.

  1. modify /etc/network/interfaces to disable other access points informations
  2. reboot
  3. iwconfig $WirelessLAN_DeviceName essid $STARBUCKS_WIFI_ACCESSPOINT_SSID
  4. dhclient $WirelessLAN_DeviceName
  5. ifconfig

Checking ifconfig result and $WirelessLAN_DeviceName would be assigned IP address, preparation is DONE! Access some Internet site, then, forwarded authentication page automatically. Entering login informations and authentication would be completed, we can access Internet!
