EAP-TLS network fails to connect with timeout message

[jasonwc]

Binary package hint: network-manager

1) Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)
2) network-manager_0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1.8.10.1
Kernel 2.6.27-9-generic

3) I expected to be able to connect to an WPA2-Enterprise EAP-TLS network.

4) With the new version of network-manager (which increases the time allowed for connections to 60 seconds) I can reliably connect to my network when I use PEAP or EAP-TTLS. However, I have never been able to successfully connect to my network using EAP-TLS in Ubuntu 8.10 despite the fact that each connection attempt shows a successful login in my RADIUS server log. The exact same setup worked in Ubuntu 8.04 and works in Windows XP with 3 different supplicants (XP supplicant, Juniper Access Client, Intel PROSet). I've even tried using the Hardy network-manager, wpasupplicant, and kernel packages yet EAP-TLS still doesn't work in Ubuntu 8.10. I am currently using the latest version of all above-mentioned packages.
