Can not connect to WPA2-EAP wireless LAN with bq aquaris

[Akos Mate]

When I touch the name of the network on the list, at the indicators menu, nothing happens. When I try it again 3, 4 times, the whole "Network" tab becomes empty, even the SIM card informations disappear, and the icon of the tab switches to a gear instead of the signal strength indicator. Then the Network tab stays empty until the next reboot.

I don't know, what package is responsible for this error.

we need to investigate this more. WPA2-EAP support has not been implemented, but interacting with such accesspoints through the indicator should not render the indicator defunct.

The network in question was eduroam: http://eduroam.unideb.hu/en/content/locations-hu
I can't help more right now.

Connecting to a WPA Enterprise network is bug 1241986, already in progress. So I suggest narrowing this bug report just to cover handling of networks that report unknown/unimplemented authentication methods.

This is a similar situation to Bluetooth devices of profiles that Ubuntu Touch doesn't handle: you can see it, you just can't use it. So maybe we should present it the same way: greyed out and with a ⛔ no-entry icon (bug 1419866).

I do not know exactly when it started to work, but now EAP seems to work.
