Connecting internet to Raspbery Pi board

I have successfully ported Linux kernel to Raspberry Pi board. But now i need to have Internet connection into it. And my internet connection is like, it needs a user name and password to login then only we can access Internet(wired internet through LAN or RJ 45 connector). And this interface for entering username and password comes in a browser.

But now in case of Raspberry pi , its just a kernel so , i do not have a browser in it. So how to connect this internet connection in Board.

Thanks

If you could connect it (temporarily) to an Internet connection that doesn't require a login/password, you could install a command line based browser. I would suggest looking into Lynx, if you choose to do it this way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_%28web_browser%29

The hardware solution is to use a home router that does the logging-in for you, and then acts as a gateway between your local LAN and the Internet. You would connect the Raspberry Pi to one of the router's LAN ports, and use either DHCP or static IPs on that local net.

A software solution might be using e.g. curl to implement some kind of login-script that fakes the accesses to the web page.
