I am not sure what you mean. There are two different GUI based ways to get
 LEAP authorization in NM. The first is an option in the default security
 GUI as an alternative to WEP.
The second is in the Connect to Other Wireless Network GUI as a security
 option as as an alternative to WEP and various WPA options.

However, Dan you know much more about NM than I do so I assume the problem
is in the phrase "LEAP and an eap method" whose meaning is not clear to me.
