Public bug reported:

Hi!

I'm using Network Manager 1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 to connect to the
WPA2-Enterprise SSID with PEAP-MSCHAPv2. I'm able to connect to it using
WPA2-EAP ok, but as I know, Network Manager uses wpa_supplicant
supporting FT-EAP, but this option is not available in the Network
Manager.

FT stands for the 802.11r Fast Transition, which allows client to be
"pre-authenticated" to the AP it targets to move to, thus facilitating
inter-AP transition time (i.e. downtime) to be much lower in
WPA2-Enterprise networks. This functionality is critical in the modern
802.11 networks.

Please, add this support to the Network Manager.
