All the information elements for the wpa enterprise connection are being
stored in the gconf file under  /system/networking/wireless. The only
bit of information not stored there (as it should be) is the passkey to
the private certificate.

The passkey is being stored on the default keyring but for some reason,
this key is not being retrieved and passed on to networkmanager or to
the wpa suupplicant. Without this key, the supplicant cannot open the
private key store and the connection fails.

I also have to say that for networks that use WPA PSK, this is not the
case and those networks work very well with nm-applet  In WPA PSK
networks, the PSK is stored in the keyring and it is encrypted.  When
connecting to those networks, nm-applet is able to retrieve the key and
pass it to the supplicant without any problems.

Thank you.
