[Bug 1085442] [NEW] networkmanagement unable to configure NM connection for TTLS/EAP-GTC & MD5 authentication

[Scott Kitterman]

Public bug reported:

Network Manager via wpa_supplicant has support for TTLS/EAP-GTC & MD5
authentification. But KDE4 GUI dialog for wifi connection not. There is
only PAP, CHAP and MSCHAP(v2). So with KDE4 plasma widget is not
possible to connect to WiFI WPA2 Enterprise TTLS/EAP-GTC network.
Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to connect to WPA2
Enterprise TTLS/EAP-GTC network via KDE4 GUI Actual Results: Not
possible, in menubox for TTLS/EAP is missing GTC and MD5 auth Expected
Results: Option in configuration and connection

[Impact]

 * With networkmanagement is not possible to connect to WiFI WPA2
Enterprise TTLS/EAP-GTC network.

 * Impacts users' ability to connect to networks and gain internet
access.

[Test Case]

 * If available, try to connect to WPA2 Enterprise TTLS/EAP-GTC network
via networkmanagement (this can actually be verified with and WPA2
connection since we are fixing the U/I and not the underlying Network-
Manager ability to connect to TTLS/EAP-GTC conntections).

 * Notice that in the menubox for TTLS/EAP, GTC and MD5 auth options are
missing

 * Install the updated packages

 * Repeat and note that the options are now present

 * Attempt to make a connection and see that Network-Manager tries to
connect.  If on a TTLS/EAP-GTC network, the connection should succeed.

[Regression Potential]

 * Regression potential is nil.  It's a backport of the 6 line upstream
fix for the issue and is just adding additional U/I options.  There's no
impact to internal processing.
