Public hotspots usually redirect to a custom sign-in page using the router's DNS so try opening a browser and then run
Code:
# sh /etc/netstart

thanks for the quick answers ! it's working now ! I also realized if you put the wifi name between ' signs it works... no password needed since it's an open network
this is my /etc/hostname.iwm0 join 'free wifi hotel xxx' dhcp |

What was the problem then? If you post your solution then it may be helpful for others.
The man page suggests using double quotes. I use an SSID with a space in the name and double quotes work for me in /etc/hostname.iwm0.

I posted the solution... it works with single quotes for me, it was't working with double quotes...
