I agree with Henri. Providing the authentication method makes it easier for the UI application to help the user. > Maybe instead of the literal phase2 method, additional Passphrase types > could be introduced, like "eap-password" and "eap-response"? To me that sounds a bit artificial and I don't see any benefit compared to using real method names. And besides there's no harm providing the method to the UI, and it's extremely simple to implement. -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ connman mailing list connman@connman.net http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman
