[Bug 1249295] [NEW] No installer support for WPA Enterprise-secured WiFi networks, crashes

[qwach]

Public bug reported:

The installer doesn't give you a full Network Manager prompt when asking to connect to WiFi networks, only a password field (Kubuntu 13.10). This is insufficient for connecting to WPA Enterprise-secured networks. I decided to just try out what happens when you enter a password and try to connect anyway - boom, crash.
Entering a live session, activating the connection there and installing afterwards obviously works, but should be unnecessary.
