I can confirm that encrypting the key fixes the problem. It doesn't
matter whether the certificates/key are in PEM or DER format. If the key
is encrypted, and the correct password is inputted, the connect button
lights up and becomes usable.

However, that doesn't fix the fact that network-manager is largely
useless for 802.1x. With PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2 I was able to connect about 50%
of the time. The rest of the time, the freeradius debug log showed that
no attempt was even made to connect. With EAP-TLS, I see the same
behavior, but even when the freeradius log shows a successful
connection, network manager refuses to connect and doesn't output any
errors!

I am able to connect 100% of the time with either the Windows XP
supplicant or Juniper's Odyssey Access client. This is clearly a
network-manager issue. Hopefully, wpa-supplicant will be more reliable.
