802.1x APs should be hidden in OOBE wizard

[Lukáš Tinkl]

As subject says, APs with "Authentication Suites (1) : 802.1x" should be filtered out/hidden from the welcome wizard.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

A lot of effort went into making it possible to connect to those networks. Why would we hide them?

Bug 1475023 is specifically about the first-run setup. If the toolkit developers still haven’t implemented what you need for that, an appropriate workaround to that bug would be to grey out wi-fi enterprise networks from the first-run setup specifically, and add a caption explaining that you can connect to them later. Not to hide them in the setup (which would give the impression that Ubuntu won’t be able to use them at all), and certainly not to hide them “from the indicator, system settings *and* the welcome wizard”.

There are some wires crossed here about the difference between 802.1x and enterprise WPA. We're trying to get to the bottom of it.

[Antti Kaijanmäki (kaijanmaki)]

After some investigation I can conclude that we are not hiding WPA Enterprise / 802.1x networks completely. They will stay available from the indicator and system-settings. The only place we want to hide t hem is from First Run Wizard, inside unity8.

Looking at the i-network menumodel dumps Patty provided we can conclude that i-network is already marking the Enterprise networks correctly:

               dict entry(
                  string "x-canonical-wifi-ap-is-secure"
                  variant boolean true
               )
               dict entry(
                  string "label"
                  variant string "COMOB"
               )

For now, I'm marking this as invalid for i-network and passing the ball to lucas on wizard (unity8) side.
