The timeout is now hardcoded to 25 seconds: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/src/devices/nm-device-ethernet.c?id=1.6-rc1#n800 In order to make it configurable we probably can add a new per-connection "802-1x.auth-timeout" (or similar) property. > * possibility to configure number of retries for connection attempts > with 802.1x/wpa supplicant (on cable/wireless) This is already possible with NM 1.6 using the connection.autoconnect-retries property. > * possibility for a mixed network to send after the connection attempt > (but not waiting for the successfull completion) a dhcp request, so we > already get perhaps an IP. I think this could lead to confusion, as it would allow the connection to a 802.1x secured profile without actual authentication (see [1] for more details). [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723084 In my opinion, the proper solution is to use 2 different connection profiles, and implement a configurable 802.1x timeout to speed up the switch to the non-authenticated profile.
