Bug Description

current build number: 51
device name: arale
channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu.en
last update: 2015-07-08 16:34:56
version version: 51
version ubuntu: 20150708
version device: 20150703-d6bcc69
version custom: 20150602-731-5-32

1. Enable wpa2 enterprise on your router and setup a freeradius server and connect the router to it https://dani33l.wordpress.com/2014/11/ is the guide I used
2. On the phone drag down the indicator-network and select the ep network
3. Select Security to wpa & wpa2 enterprise
4. Change Authentication to PEAP
5. Inner set to MSCHAPv2
6. None for ca cert
7. PEAP automatic
8. Username add the user you set up on the server
9. Password add the password you set on the server but add a one to the end of it

ACTUAL:
The indicator pops up the standard wifi password for the system, this in no way impacts the enterprise setup so just confuses the user into adding a password that is never accepted

Another side effect of this is that if you go back and correct the password in the initial setup it will still ask for a password any time you reconnect even though it isn't needed.

EXPECTED:
I expect there to be some sort of warning that I did something wrong

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#wi-fi-connecting-dialog>: "If connection authentication fails, the dialog should open if was not open already ... On phone, it should have body text “Your authentication details were incorrect.”"

TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:
If you should mess up the setup just forget the network and then add it again correctly and all is well in the world.
