nm-applet crashes on authentication (peap/md5)

[Berni]

I upgraded to Karmic Beta.
Every time I try on wired network (wlan not available on my notebook) to authenticate through peap-legitimation with md5-challange the nm-applet crashes and disappears from the panel. The error massage I got with a shell is:

nm-applet assert failure: ERROR:eap-method-peap.c:128:fill_connection: assertion failed: (s_con)

After restarting the applet it's the same.
The peap-version is set to automatic, the IPv4 method is set to DHCP and the IPv6 is set to ignore.
My admin sais that there is no need of an anonymous identity or a certification.

I don't know if you need further information. So please ask if you need more.
(Sorry for my english.)

Partly the same behaviour on jaunty, only withouht the disapearing nm-applet.

For me it looks like NM isn't saving MD5 challenge and is trying to authenticate with ~MAschv4

does someone know which file should be touch during the initial setup ? So that we can get sure it will use MD5 ?

PS: we're talking about 802.1x on a wired network (eth0) NOT on a wireless!

Hi!

Now I use the version 0.8-0ubuntu2 of network-manager-gnome in Lubuntu and there are no crashes or disappearances of the systray applet anymore.
