Note the comment in #144 - while removing the system-ca-certs=true line might work, any changes you make to the network connection in Network Manager thereafter will re-add the line!
So the current workflow for connecting to a PEAP WIFI network is currently: 1. Make the connection. It will fail, but it will create an entry in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. 2. Edit that connection as root, remove the system-ca-certs=true line. 3. Never make any changes to that connection again. One more small note - changing the line to read system-ca-certs=false causes the line to disappear when you save the file. I have no idea what is changing the file on write, but you can basically write the change and immediately cat the file, but instead of a line that says system-ca- certs=false, the line has vanished completely. Perhaps NetworkManager tracks the connection files in realtime, or some upstart job is submitting the changes? I don't know. I just found it interesting that the correct behaviour is actually the default behaviour and that this version causing this bug is actively changing that default behaviour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104476 Title: Network manager cannot connect to WPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 network without CA_Certificate Status in NetworkManager: Fix Released Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in Gentoo Linux: Fix Released Status in “network-manager” package in openSUSE: Confirmed Bug description: === Release Notes Text === When connecting to MPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 wifi networks which do not have a CA Certificate network manager may incorrectly mark the CA certificate as needing verification and fail that verification.
