patch for using auth instead of autheap

Sorry invalid, wrong component

thanks for moving moving this, should be correct now

I'm looking hard at this right now but I can't commit the patch as is as it will break connections that do use autheap as the phase2 auth style.

To make it work right i have to rework a lot of the UI.

Fixed, please test with knetworkmanager trunk and kdebase-workspace 4.3 branch.

I didn't get my university network to work with the new revision, too, trying both PEAP and TTLS.
The applet tries to connect, but after some time it asks again for the security settings.

I attach the log of a failed connection attempt. Something seems wrong with the certificate, at least the name does not conform with the certificates I wrote in ("use system CA certs" is unchecked).

log of NetworkManager - failed connection

Cyril: Are you using SVN or packages? which revision?

Aug 25 13:37:29 linux-oqzl NetworkManager: <WARN>  connection_get_settings_cb(): connection_get_settings_cb: Invalid connection: 'NMSettingConnection' / 'id' invalid: 1

This indicates one of your connections is invalid.  Can you delete all other connections and see if NM still prints this warning when you start KNetworkManager (tail -f /var/log/whatever-ubuntu-uses-for-nm-logs).  If it persists, delete and recreate the EAP-PEAP connection too.

Aug 25 13:37:33 linux-oqzl NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'ca_cert' value 'blob://-org-freedesktop-NetworkManagerSettings-9-ca_cert'

This is something NM uses to describe the ca-cert sent by NM as a series of bytes.

Thanks for the hints!

I use OpenSuse packages:
NetworkManager 0.7.0.r4359-15.2.2
knetworkmanager 0.9.svn1012598-93.2

I'll delete my connections and retry connecting ASAP.

I deleted all my connections and after reboot tried again, but still without success.
I'll attach the log.
My university network prefers WPA2 and AES encryption, but WPA and RC4 or TKIP should work fine, too (I see no possibility to set this manually in order to test).

log of NetworkManager - failed connection II

I just upgraded to the plasmoid-widget-network-manager version 0.1~svn1017841-0ubuntu2~jaunty3 package, and there's no joy - I'm still NOT getting PEAP authentication.

/var/log/daemon.log and qdbus output is attached.

Charlie: sounds like you are suffering bug 188085 too.

SVN commit 1022361 by wstephens:

When a connection's wireless security type is changed, previous wireless security
setting state was not being fully reset, leading to duplicate and
incorrect settings to be sent, that are marked invalid by
NetworkManager.

Charlie:  Either delete and recreate this connection or change the
wireless security type away from WPA Enterprise and back again to reset
the state and get rid of the dupe WEP ciphers seen in your log in
comment #16.

Will, I hate to tell you, but that doesn't seem to have had any effect.  I tried both solutions you mentioned, as well as deleteing the .kde/share/config/networkmanagementrc file (wiping out all connection information), and it *still* does the same thing - I've reattached the latest /var/log/daemon.log, but I'm pretty sure it's the same.

It looks like knetworkmanager is still setting key_mgmt as 'WPA-EAP', NOT 'IEEE8021X'.  I don't know if that's significant, but it seems that it might be so.  And again, this is a fresh configuration.

BKO is down so I'm replying directly. 

Just to make sure, are you already running the code I committed today?

And I don't mind you telling me it doesn't work - this is the only way to 
debug these things.  Thanks for giving it your time.

Will

I'm sorry, the newest revision doesn't do it for me, too.
After some time I'm still asked again and again for the connection settings (the previous ones are now shown correctly).

Just for testing I once put in a wrong password, but the behaviour was the same, so maybe the connection doesn't even reach the stage where the password is checked.

I upgraded to the Karmic beta over the weekend, and tried the network manager plasmoid again, version 0.9~svn1029786-0ubuntu1.  No joy - I'm still not able to connect.

With Fedora 11 (0.12.20090519svn.fc11), I still experience this problem.
Here is the log, with plasmoid:

Nov  6 11:06:16 bastard kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

altough with nm-applet, I can connect to the network without any problem.

Here is the log, of nm-applet connecting to the same network:

If any developer needs some more please just ask.

Best regards!

The plasmoid is way out of date, you need knetworkmanager to have a chance.

No, it's still screwed up.

I just did a clean install of Karmic on a new Dell Latitude E6400.  Karmic installs plasma-widget-networkmanagement by default.  There is NO knetworkmanager package listed at all.  If there's a different package I should be installing, I'll apparently need a ppa for it.

Under plasma-widget-networkmanagement, version 0.9~svn1029786+ag1-0ubuntu1, I get the following log messages in /var/log/daemon:

Is this bug really fixed? Looking through the history I can't see it as such. If it is, can you tell me in what level so I can verify if the fix is in KUbuntu Karmic (as I can't connect to WPA LEAP with kde)

@Anton, and anyone else -
No, it's not fixed.  It still doesn't work.  I don't think I've been able to use knetworkmanager on our school PEAP/LEAP network since before knetworkmanager 0.7.  I've been using nm-applet quite successfully - the only problem is that it gets really annoying to have to unlock a kde wallet AND a gnome keyring.  But I've never gotten the kde network-manager plasmoid to work on PEAP/LEAP.  Not once, not ever.

I confirm that the bug is NOT fixed, I still can't connect to the eduroam network with the (newly official) NM plasmoid in SC 4.5.1. :-(
I tried all workarounds presented in this (seemingly duplicate) thread, nothin helped: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209673

after upgrading to kde 4.10 i can't connect to wpa-protected wifi networks (i can connect to non-encripted networks)
i this bug is back?

kubuntu 12.10, kde 4.10 from the repository kubuntu-ppa-backports-quantal

I haven't been able to connect to a WPA2 network for at least two years on multiple laptops, although it has always worked with NetworkManager and Gnome.  I'm not sure whether the reason is that the PEAP auth methods aren't correctly sent (as the title of this bug report says), but all the bugs I can find about the networkmanager plasmoid not connected to WPA enterprise are marked as duplicates of this one, and the problem is defnitely *not* resolved.
