I'll add GTC once we get the fall distro releases out of the way Correction - _we'll_ add it. To do this Junior Job, look in libs/ui/security/peapwidget.h and see how existing auth methods are defined (eg eapmethodsimple for username/password methods, eapmethodleap for a more complex method) and registered (peapwidget.cpp). Then define a suitable eap method for GTC (extend eapmethodsimple if it is only username+password) and register it to the peap widget. Created attachment 38884 [details]
Patch to support GTC
The patch adds support for GTC. The patch is not against SVN HEAD but should apply cleanly against it. Tested on PEAP-GTC network and it works with NetworkManager-0.7.996-6.git20091021 on Fedora 12 x86_64. Note that only the UI bits are added by this patch since the back-end support existed already.
Thanks for patch, and please commit before next round of distro releases! Patch is almost definitely harmless in terms of regressions, and would make it easier for many people I know to connect to our uni's wireless, and I'm sure same situation applies for others. Thankyou! I'm using KDE SC 4.4.4 in my Ubuntu 10.04, but the PEAP-GTC isn't implemented until yet. I wonder, why not? The bug or feature request is well known since months, but nothing is happened. Wicd or the Gnome-networkmanager had this feature implemented for a long time, but why not KDE? Will S seems to have forgotten about this, or is very sidetracked. Is there anyone else we could get to just merge the patch into the svn? Who are the other knm devs? So, KDE 4.5 is on stage but no peap gtc. Gnome can do this, Windows 7 can do this, but not KDE? I couldn't believe it. Ok, I believe in wonders... They may happen... *** Bug 242839 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit d6b58f4eec3e680cb0eea04116ad72f707fa636c by Lamarque V.
