Open Algorithm With Phase 1 PEAP and Phase 2 MSCHAPV2 For Wireless

[Tyler Kahn <tkahn americanhebrewacademy org>]

Hello!

First let me say I love NM! It's so simple and easy to use... very 
intuitive!

The only problem that I have is that my school uses MSCHAPV2 
authentication for its wired and wireless internet.

On my desktop computer running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron Beta NM 
automatically detects that the wired is 8.011x encrypted and gives me 
the option to configure for it. Thank you soo much for this change!

Unfortunately, running the beta on my laptop, when I go to "Connect to 
other wireless network" and select "None" for security, I am unable to 
specify any other settings!

It would be incredibly helpful to be able to have NM support open 
algorithm security with phase 1 PEAP and phase 2 MSCHAPV2 (with slots 
for certificate files obviously).

I am trying to convert my friends here at school to using Linux but it's 
really difficult when I have to dig into the command line to get them 
wireless.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad x60 using ipw3945 drivers and have been forced 
to use wpa_supplicant.

This is my wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
ssid="*"
auth_alg=OPEN
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="tkahn"
password="*"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
ca_cert="/home/tkahn/.wireless/genesis.cer"
ca_cert="/home/tkahn/.wireless/leviticus.cer"
ca_cert="/home/tkahn/.wireless/user_cer.cer"
}



Thank you so much!
