I works here! Now I can connect to the university's WPA2 Enterprise network w/ WPA-EAP PEAPv0 MSCHAPv2. I have an HP Pavillion dv9000t (Intel 3945 wireless adapter).

It works for me in kubuntu 9.04 after updating the plasmoid using the deb packages in Hermansson's ppa (as listed above). Even after I updated the packages, it still wouldn´t even try to connect as Christophe Dumez described in his post above:

Looks like another bug in the plasmoid. It seems to me that every time you click on a networks name, the plasmoid creates another entry for that network, with empty settings. So even if you had already set everything up before, the plasmoid will not use the settings "myNetwork" (that you saved beforehand) next time you click on "myNetwork" in the list of networks detected.

Here's how I got it to work for me:

0) Make sure running the updated packages from Hermansson's ppa
1) Go into the plasmoid's "manage connections" and delete all "myNetwork" entries you find
2) Properly set up a new entry for your network SSID (e.g. myNetwork) and mark the checkbox that says "connect automatically"
3) reboot
4) when you log in next time, you'll find that the connection is already activated.

Hope this works for those here still having problems.
