Coova Smartphone Extension

CoovaSX is a small application for your smartphone that will login to a Hotspot using a captive portal that supports WISPr. This includes CoovaChilli driven network and most commercial Hotspot hardware and services. Ideal to use with your CoovaAP and CoovaAAA account. Also see CoovaFX for your firefox browser. If you'd rather use 802.1x, there are instructions here.
