Good list although I see some missing airports. FYI since it's not in the list: BDL (Hartford/ Springfield) - at least 2 companies there are running wifi and they are wide open without any encryption. YMMV
This list seems to be missing the Free WiFi found in some business clubs, like the Continental Arilines Presidents club.Let me add my finding from these Continental clubs:Free in ORDFree in ATLFree in EWRFree in DTWOtherwise an Excellent listing! Thanks!
Last time I was at the airport the "free" wifi wasn't assigning DHCP properly. After trying to connect for a bit, it was actually more entertaining to sit and watch other people try and LOUDLY complain about not being able to connect.
I never had any luck connecting to the BDL network. I have a Dell Latitude D610 with the Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card. What tweaks do I need to make in order to connect? I have no problem connecting to other access points, but I have been unsuccessful connecting to the "BDL" SSID. Itr's really frustrating when the guy next to you with an IBM laptop has absolutely no problems. I suspect it has something to do with a unusual DNS server, but not 100% sure.

A lot of airports will block tcp/udp traffic but will not block ICMP traffic. So if you have a few mins before your next trip setup an ICMP tunnel server so you can get free wifi even whey they try to make you pay<a class="user" href="http://www.cs.uit.no/~daniels/PingTunnel/">http://www.cs.uit.no/~daniels/PingTunnel/</a>
