Bug description:
The WPA2 Enterprise dialog in NetworkManager has lots of configuration
fields, and some are necessary to save the connection. Unfortunately, the GUI
doesn't provide any feedback what particular field is missing / wrong. This was
particularly annoying in my special case:
For my university's network, I need to provide a certain CA certificate,
which I downloaded and copied to /etc/ssl/certs. I then selected the file in
the gnome file chooser dialog by typing the directory in the bash-like
selection textfield. The automatic completion showed my certiticate, and so I
opened it. However, "apply" was still greyed out. As I noticed after some
searching, the file was set to file mode 600 and owned by root.
So, the file should either not be considered by the completion in the
selection textfield, or there should be some feedback why it can't be used.
The same happens if the file is in a wrong format.
I think the actual bug lies in the auto completion, because now I
noticed that the "bad" cert is NOT displayed in the graphical folder
vew.
