Public hotspots usually don't use encryption, AFAIK. This means wpa_supplicant is not needed.

But, a look at their website shows:
Quote:
SECURE - With the latest T-Mobile Connection Manager software, the data between your device and the access point is encrypted, further reducing the risk that your session may be observed.
...running under Windows, no doubt.

The most important information in config file for wpa_supplicant are the name of the access point (essid) and the key. Without this info you can not connect.
