Bug Description

hi all,
i have tried to connect via wicd to an encrypted cabled network, creating this encryption template:
name = PEAP on wire
author = fberni
version = 1
require identity *Identity password *Password
protected password *Password
-----
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

network={
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        eap=PEAP
        identity="$_IDENTITY"
        password="$_PASSWORD"
        phase1="peapver=0"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        priority=10
----------------------------

it didn't work becouse there are no encryption supported on cabled network in wicd.
i use this wpa_supplicant script for connecting(launched with this command: wpa_supplicant -Dwired -i eth0 -c config):

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

network={
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        eap=PEAP
        identity=""
        password=""
        phase1="peapver=0"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        priority=10
---------------------------------

i'm on a debian sid

$ uname -a
Linux carlotta 3.0.0-1-486 #1 Sat Aug 27 15:56:48 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

if more information are needed don't fear to ask
