There is a GUI option for LEAP, this allows also to select WPA-EAP for
key management. However, it does not provide a GUI to select CCMP as
pairwise.
However, according to:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=868743#post868743
CCMP should be the default.

When I select the above options in nm_applet, NetworkManager tries to
connect. After a short time the nm_applet GUI pops up again
automatically, but now with the WPA2-Enterprise GUI...

Entering password etc. here does not result into a connect.

Any further hints are welcomed :-)
