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

[Jeremy Soller]

cyphermox: Thanks for the feedback! I will work that into the patch, I
think it would remove about 100 lines of code from ubiquity. I would
leave some things in nm.py until a similar change is made to
kde_components/nmwidgets.py

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.)
