Added Leap Support plus fixes

Thanks for the patch.

Can you please attach a debdiff so I can easily review your specific changes?

and maybe give a brief comment for each single change as well.

Thanks for your contribution,

 - Alexander

The patch was written by my IBM colleague : Aloisio De Almeida in
Brazil.

I can see all the referals made in the diff file by him, (Forgot to
mention that in the last post as I as in a bit of a hurry. )
Does this help ?

It would really help a lot if you or aloisio could just submit your
changes (vs. the whole diff.gz).

Let me know if you can do (please) ... otherwise, I can try to fiddle
those out and let you review if I catched everything (not preferred of
course).

Thanks,

ok, here the diff against latest feisty. Anyone volunteers to port this to gutsy?

NM is a fairly key component for Gutsy, so +1 from me to get this patch integrated and tested.

I am running Gutsy with atheros wireless and following packages:

network-manager 0.6.5-0ubuntu12
network-manager-gnome 0.6.5-0ubuntu9
network-manager-openvpn 0.3.2svn2342-1ubuntu2
network-manager-pptp 0.6.5+svnhead2574-0ubuntu1
network-manager-vpnc 0.6.4svn2422-0ubuntu3

and I am unable to connect to a leap network using nm-applet. The wireless network does not appear automatically, so I have to manually choose 'connect to other network', set essid, choose leap, and put in the authentication information, and key management (WPA-EAP in my case), and click ok. Nm-applet just displays the rotating busy icon, and never connects.

I have wpasupplicant 0.6.0-3 installed, and can connect to the leap network using the following config file:
#/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
        scan_ssid=1
        ssid="MYNETWORK"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=LEAP
        identity="MYIDENTITY"
        password="MYPASSWORD"
}

command: wpa_supplicant -D madwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i ath0
I then run dhclient ath0, and everything works fine.

please attach your /var/log/syslog and daemon.log and don't forget to include the line where network-manager about the used driver ;).

Here is both logs as requested....

Alexander, here is my follow up to the first report:
When I first boot up and log into my account, nm-applet attempts to connect, but seems to not have the appropriate keys (according to syslog), so I choose 'Connect to Other Wireless Network...' and enter the information for leap, and see the attempts at connect, but ultimately, it fails.

I've found that this bug is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41134. /usr/bin/wpa_supplicant is not listed in the process list unless you re-login to a network by using the 'connect to other wireless network' option in nm-applet. When I do login, wpa_supplicant -g /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global<#> is called, and I can see some activity going to the madwifi interface using iwenvent. I have gotten it to connect, but when a new key needs to be generated for leap, it looses the connection. I am going to try the patch by Andrew Jorgensen, and will let you know what the results are.

Applied Andrew's fix. The password is being held in the keyring... (was doing so even before this fix), but I don't think the authentication information is being retrieved from the keyring to pass to wpa_supplicant by nm-applet. I don't see wpa in the process list until I use the 'connect to other wireless network'. Even after wpa runs, I am still unable to connect to the LEAP network. Is there some way to see the activity on the /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global socket so that we can see what is being passed to wpa_supplicant?

syslog.luxor is the log of the failures.
syslog.luxor4 is the log of the successful connection.

Please let me know if you need anything further. Also, how can I view the messages between nm and wpa_supplicant?
Thanks

Executing sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart and trying 'Connect to Other Wireless Network' works.
However, it does not re-associate if I loose the connection, or move within the building to another location... which should prompt it to connect to the closest/strongest wireless AP.

network-manager 0.6.5-0ubuntu16
network-manager-gnome 0.6.5-0ubuntu10

Any news about this? Does network-manager 0.7 include leap support? Thanks.

Yes, it works....
I was implemented a while back :)
