Summary: Lion does not detect captive network after you have been booted from it

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a captive network like Panera Bread
2. See Lion correctly detect this and get you signed on
3. Use said network for a while (usually an hour)

Expected Results:
Expect that when I am booted off the network (which happens about every 1-2 hours on the local panera wifi) the captive network box comes up again

Actual Results:
Nothing happens, system acts like I have no internet connection till I open up a tab in Safari/Chrome and try to go to a web page and get the same captive network screen that came up when I first got onto the network.

Regression:
