I tried out the Leap functionality currently in CVS and at least at my
job it just did not work with our LEAP network. One thing is that on
our LEAP network there is a simple WEP key. It works if you use the
old Cisco Linux tools. But what is there in network manager now just
does not work. It seems to need a lot more testing and fix up.
