Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
All Victorian schools use a 802.11x wireless authentication system. It
uses Dynamic WEP, and in order to connect with NM we need to force it to
use WPA Enterprise with the various settings by selecting `Connect to
Other Wireless Network...' Ideally it would allow selection of WPA
Enterprise even if it didn't detect it as a WPA network, but that's
another bug.
It works fine when you force it connect and enter all the details, and
it saves them all to gconf correctly. However, automatic reconnection
fails, with completion of stage 2 followed by an infinite loop of
`old_dev has_link? 1' and `old_dev && new_dev!!' every 5 seconds. I
guess this is probably because it continues to detect it as a WEP-only
network, and gets thoroughly confused when it sees WPA details.
All this is rather inconvenient, as I have to manually enter the details
and select certificates every time I wish to connect.
** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu)
