[Bug 1107935] Re: Support for WPA Enterprise wireless networks

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

@Jeremy,

I really like the fact that you've spent time to get this together, and
I like the added feature (and it looks like I had reported the bug
initially...); but it was already late in the cycle by the time we got
it to a decent point, and I dropped the ball getting it landed sooner
and testing it, busy.

Days from release is definitely not the moment to land something like
this -- it's a new feature, and one for which there is already a viable
workaround (in using nm-applet directly to connect).

*However* I think that we should land this as soon as the Z+1 release is
open, this seems like a very good improvement.

Moving to ubuntu-17.05; so that it shows up in my to-do list still for
May and I can go back to this bug and do the merge.

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
    Milestone: ubuntu-17.03 => ubuntu-17.05

Title:
  Support for WPA Enterprise wireless networks

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubiquity doesn't appear to support WPA-Enterprise wifi networks --
  there's just a single textbox shown to enter a passphrase, but most
  WPA-Enterprise will require at least a specific username and password,
  and possibly certificates.

  NM should already export this information on DBus, it should be a
  matter of using libnm-gtk to query the user for the connection
  information rather than prompting for it directly from the installer.

  <http://goo.gl/2iqv6j>: "If the selected network does require
  authentication, Network Manager’s standard dialog should open for you
  to enter those authentication details as soon as you choose
  “Connect…”."

  (Not to be confused with bug 1018160, about WEP networks.)
