This blog post points out an interesting type of connection that is
not supported by Network-Manager:
http://uwstopia.nl/blog/2008/05/wireless-internet-under-linux-in-the-amsterdam-public-library

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1

network={
        ssid="OBA Hotspot Service"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        eap=PEAP
        identity="YOUR-USERNAME-GOES-HERE"
        password="YOUR-PASSWORD-GOES-HERE"
}

So it uses PEAP to authenticate the user but the connection is still open...

I suspect that this is a pretty rare corner case but maybe something
NM should support anyway since it is a valid config?
