[Bug 325462] [NEW] knetworkmanager won't connect WPA/PEAP kills NetworkManager

[charles.figura]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

knetworkmanager (1:0.7svn864988-0ubuntu1.8.10.3) on kubuntu intrepid
(8.10) won't connect to WPA/PEAP network.  Progress bar sits and grinds
at 50%, will not time out (even after 10+ minutes).  On closer
inspection, I find that moments after I select the PEAP network to
connect to, networkmanager dies.  If I restart networkmanager and try
again, the same thing happens.

No warnings/messages in dmesg.

If I run nm-applet from gnome, I have no difficulty at all connecting to
the same PEAP network.  As such, this appears to be a bug in
knetworkmanager rather than networkmanager.

knetworkmanager works fine on standard WEP networks.
