What is needed for NetworkManager and WPA2 Enterprise?

[Paul Menzel <pmenzel molgen mpg de>]

Dear iwd folks,


I tried iwd 0.21 and NetworkManager 1.20.2 from Debian Sid/unstable, and 
the WPA2 Enterprise ẀLAN can’t be easily set up using GNOME’s WiFi 
configuration dialog. That is a known limitation [1].

> EAP-PWD, EAP-GTC, EAP-MsCHAPv2 Identity

> .8021x config files for the following EAP methods: PWD, GTC and
> MsCHAPv2 in which case they would be requested from the user through

Could you please talk to the NetworkManager folks, what you need? I 
created the issue *Extend D-Bus API for iwd and WPA2 Enterprise* in 
their GitLab instance [2] for that.


Kind regards,

Paul
