A workaround is to open a webapp like bbc news and you should be re-
directed to the captive portal. (anyway that's what i am doing)

Title:
  Cannot connect to open network with captive portal

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Visit a location with an open wireless network which requires you to click "agree" or similar before connecting to the internet proper - a so-called captive portal.
  Using system image 5 on mako I am unable to make such a connection. 
  I can see the network, click on it in the network-indicator, but I don't get an IP address, and no way to visit the "agree" page.
  I can connect to other open (and secure) networks just fine, and other devices can connect to the problem network (but prompt to "agree" in a browser).
