Access to the WiFi network will just work from that point onwards.
Prior to verion 3.0, in order to use the WiFi network at work, I had to visit some web page using Safari, got redirected to the login page and had to type in my credentials before being able to vistit the App Store, or use NetNewsWire etc. Now, with 3.0, it is fully transparent and seamless.

Except, after I enter the UID/PID my authenticator send a pop-up with a 'Success' message and an OK button. The thin browser isn't allowing the popup, I can't click OK, so I cannot connect to my office wireless network anymore.
This would be a very nice feature, but they have to allow for me to click past the 'success' message.
