Can you explain this a bit more? You should be able to stuff arbitrary data into gconf, but you may need to format it differently, say as a hex string rather than binary data. We may just need to suck up more options in the applet for now. > This doesn't seem possible though? i.e. after playing with wpa_cli, it > seems there's no way to extract the blob config ? > > The other parts there aren't working, are that nm doesn't seem to show > a signal strength for the network, and that nm seems to forget about > the network, i.e. from working, I switch to ethernet, then when I yank > the ethernet, the wlan isn't there to go back to. APs have capabilities; but you'll likely only care about the advertised WPA cipher & auth capabilities, not anything behind that like the RADIUS server or the EAP options it supports. This is odd, and NM shouldn't be doing that. What you probably want to look at is the nm-device-802-11-wireless.c, in the function where it tries to find the best network to associate with, and see if your AP is returned from that function. If not, why not? Does the scanned AP's capabilities not match the "allowed" list entry's capabilities for that network?
