Package: network-manager-kde
Version: 1:0.9~svn1141976-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
NOTE:
I suspect that the bug 578101 network-manager-kde: eduroam style networks are
not working with knetworkmanager (but with nm-applet) is heavily related to
this bug.
I have (kind of) the same problem, both in network-manager-kde, and
plasma-widget-networkmanagement (which I understand is the src for
network-manager-kde, so they should be the same).
For me it does work to switch to nm-applet (available in network-manager-gnome).
With nm-applet the connection is established reasonably fast. However,
knetworkmanager seems to be configuring the interface for a long time and then
shows me the authentication dialog for WPA2/Enterprise.
I tried the following procedure:
* Reboot.
* Start nm-applet and let it connect to the wireless network, eduroam.
[nm-applet connects without any problem.]
* Kill nm-applet.
* Immediately start knetworkmanager and let it connect to the wireless network,
eduroam.
[Now, knetworkmanager is able to connect to the wireless network, eduroam,
reasonably fast. Thus it seems like knetworkmanager is able to use the
configuration applied by nm-applet, so the problem AFAICS lies in the
configuration of the interface stage.]
* Reboot.
* Start knetworkmanager and let it connect to the wireless network, eduroam.
[Now, knetworkmanager is not able to connect to the wireless network, eduroam.]
* Kill knetworkmanager.
* Start nm-applet.
[nm-applet now tries to connect to eduroam. It is unsuccessful and shows me the
Authentication required by wireless network-dialog. If I just press Connect,
nm-applet is still unable to connect and again shows me the dialog. If I change
the PEAP version to 1 (see below for my actual settings - PEAP version: 0) and
press Connect, nm-applet will again show me the dialog. I then change back to
the correct setting and press Connect. nm-applet is now able to connect without
any problem.]
* Repeating bullets 3-4 above again makes knetworkmanager connect to eduroam
without any problem.
Conclusion:
To me it seems like the problem lies in how the interface is getting configured.
