I got this working with Cyphermox 's help: Here is whats needed in terms of configs:
manually edit /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/my-peap-network-filename Here is how it should look: /// [connection] id=my-peap-network-filename uuid=43751181-27bc-4184-a9b9-3adaf9e914eb type=802-11-wireless [802-11-wireless-security] key-mgmt=wpa-eap [802-11-wireless] ssid=my-peap-network-filename mode=infrastructure mac-address=E8:92:A4:9B:69:42 security=802-11-wireless-security [802-1x] eap=peap; identity=myusername phase2-auth=mschapv2 password=mypassword [ipv4] method=auto [ipv6] method=auto /// set permission of /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/my-peap- network-filename to 600, and do a touch thats all. Appearantly there is (at least in my network) no need to actively ignore the cert acceptance. So i suppose this part is solved. I will do another bugreport as a feature request for a UI for all this. When i do, I will post the buglink here -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241986 Title: Cannot connect to WPA/WPA2, EAP-PEAP, MSCHAPV2 network Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On Ubuntu for Phones final image on mako I can see a network but cannot connect because I never get prompted for the username/password.
