Canadians: iPod touch can't connect to datavalet wifi in Air Canada lounges

I'm not arguing about the need for 802.1X support, but I now think the Datavalet problem isn't due to that lack. When I posted above, I was not sure if was is only a re-direction problem with Safari, or whether it was an 802.1X access control matter. I just thought to check my wife's MacBookPro, which has Datavalet listed amongst her preferred networks in the Advanced pane for Airport in the Network System Prefs - for security it shows 'none' rather than 802.1X (or WPA Enterprise, as it is sometimes called). Looking in her keychain, it is a simple webform with a username and password that gives her access with the MBP. So it sounds like Datavalet, or their parent company Travelnet, need to ensure their routers redirect iPods and iPhones to a log-in page.

I agree - the support for 802.1x may be highly desireable, but that is not the issue here. We need access to that login page!

The excellent Brian Goodman from Datavalet support has replied:

"Hello Mr. Moss,

We have been upgrading all the DataValet locations with the configurations
required to be compliant with all the new network devices from Apple. The
service will work on your iPod touch for your next visit.

Thank you,
Brian

Perhaps someone due to travel soon can confirm that this is now working?

IPod Touch access through Datavalet is now working in the Maple Leaf Lounge in Halifax.
Hopefully, all lounges have now been upgraded to permit iPod Touch and iPhone access.

Well done Chris, for sticking with this and Brian from Datavalet
