Comment 146 for bug 272185

Is there any progress on the Enterprise aspects of this bug? It seems that NM is trying too hard and specifying more parameters than are required in most cases by wpa_supplicant. Some method of not specifying the phase2 authentication options would be very interesting to see as, at least in my case, wpa_supplicant authenticates perfectly (and quickly) without these options. I'm sure they were added with the best of intentions to support those people that need to specify them but a way of skipping that phase would be good.

For accessing my work network I've now resorted to a script to stop NM, unload and reload the iwlagn driver, start wpa_supplicant and then run dhclient after authentication completes. The entire script execution takes about as long as a single rotation of the connect animation in nm-applet.

Thanks,

Mark.
