Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/94479/comments/3 suggest that this is supported in Gutsy. --Paul]

in most schools in the netherlands we need EAP-TTLS support for our wireless networking, wpa_supplicant does support it and it works fine.
But it would be nice to have eap-ttls support for network-manager.

After a bit of research i found out that 0.6.5 will support it. Dan williams has released a pre release for it :
http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/0.6.5

it would be nice to have some kind of support..... even some non support packages. i would build them myself if i had a clue where to start ;)

i suspect this won't make it to feisty anymore.

Hi. I can confirm that it works under Gutsy: I can apply the following wpa_supplicant configuration using only nm-applet:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
 ssid="XXXXXXXX"
 key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
 eap=TTLS
 <email address hidden>"
 password="XXXXX"
 ca_cert="/etc/wpa_supplicant/ct_root.crt"
 phase2="auth=PAP"
}
(the ca_cert does not seem to be needed for NM)

However it seems to have problems remembering the login/password, I'll create a new bug report after a few more testing next week.

Notice that this bug is perhaps a duplicate of Bug #107321
