Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Dan Williams and Tambet Ingo are close to releasing 0.6.6 and 0.6.5.99/0.6.6RC2 is now available. I understand that the intent with Hardy was to push out 0.7 but it looks like the volatility of 0.7 has understandably made that difficult.
0.6.6 has a number of HUGE improvements over 0.6.5:
Network profile editor
Wired 802.1x
AutoIP Notification (A different icon is used if an AutoIP address is used since a DHCP server failed to respond)
More EAP types are exposed in the Applet
Fixes for scanning issues
Plus a Large number of bug fixes.
If a Version Freeze exception is granted this new version resolves the following bugs:
40232: No (easy) way to stop auto-association to an already trusted network
132473: [gutsy] network-manager i have to manually configure wpa/2 enterprise every time to connect
41134:(Security vulnerability) Does not store WPA-Enterprise password in keyring
75554: Unable to connect to SSID containing asterisks (*)
82113 network-manager lacks 802.1x ethernet support
107598 No one-click method to activate saved manual network profile
118439 Connects to any available network without asking
