[Bug 255090] [NEW] Cannot configure LEAP wireless setting with knetworkmanager

[debankur]

Public bug reported:

I have a IBM T42p laptop with Atheros wireless card. My office uses
wireless with LEAP/IEEE8021X authentication. I configured
knetworkmanager to connect to the SSID but, it just says trying to
connect. The SSID is not hidden. But if I try to connect to the same
wireless setting via wpa_supplicant, it connects. But when I try to
connect at home with a WPA personal authentication with TPIK, it is able
to connect without any problme.

To connect to wireless within my office, I use the following command.

# sudo wpa_cli terminate
# sudo wpa_supplicant -Bw -i ath0 -D madwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 
#sudo killall dhclient3
# sudo dhclient3
