Re: Onboard Authentication is probably not cookie based simply due to the fact that there are other things on the internet other then browsers.
Its most likely done via a captive portal initially and then using the mac address and access lists to permit traffic.
The nice thing about mac filtering, is that network devices only see the neighbouring mac address, so it would be trivial to run NAT or something along those lines to allow other wireless devices to access the wifi through your connection. |
