I can confirm the original report. Configure certs/keys/passwords in wpa_supplicant.conf, do "initctl stop network-manager", then run wpa_supplicant manually and everything works like a charm. Run network-manager, the applet or nm-connection-editor won't let me configure the connection, and additionally get in the way of wpa_supplicant.
It appears that newer network-manager-applet and NetworkManager checkouts from Git as of at least 2009-10-20 might fix this problem (or cherry-picking fixes if needed), as there are pertinent log entries, for instance: nm-applet: commit 39bf65351dd8d8dc6a5740ff0644999efddad049 Author: Dan Williams <d...@redhat.com> Date: Mon Oct 19 12:27:23 2009 -0700 applet: request secrets in the applet's wireless dialog Somewhat broken by the libnm-glib settings service refactor, but it wouldn't have worked with system connections before anyway, since nothing explicitly requested system setting secrets from the wireless dialog. (The connection editor was OK) This commit basically refactors the population of the various GtkEntry widgets for secrets and the TLS private key filepicker to happen both at UI creation time, *and* to update them after getting secrets. The wireless dialog now explicitly requests secrets from a connection every time that connection is selected from the Connection: combo, and when the secrets come back populates the UI with them, which triggers dialog validation, which will then enable the Connect... button. nm: commit 40c91efa212219658932f36a3fb9c63ecc14aad3 Author: Dan Williams <d...@redhat.com> Date: Sun Oct 18 23:36:47 2009 -0700 libnm-util: fix checking for TLS and TTLS phase2 secrets Two errors here; first, need_secrets_tls() was not updated correctly for the certificate paths changes that landed recently, and would have incorrectly returned "no secrets required" for the PATH scheme. Second, an incorrect strcmp() comparison in need_secrets_phase2() meant that the wrong TTLS phase2 method would get asked if it required secrets. -- Apply button remains disabled when configuring 802.1x https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445487 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
