This affects me also. I work for a big Silicon Valley company with about 30,000 engineers. Mac is probably the majority platform in engineering, but there are a lot of us using Linux, too. This is kind of a big deal. Except for the fact that 802.1x works on wireless, this would be a BIG deal, because if it didn't work on wireless either, my sole option would be to install the corporate Windows image so that I could work, and relegate Ubuntu to a VM in Windows.

I agree with all those who believe this shouldn't be a low-priority bug. It's a serious problem that affects many people using Ubuntu in the workplace.

I get that it's an upstream bug, but couldn't Ubuntu fix it and submit the patch upstream? I've been using Ubuntu for 12 years (yeah, I go back a ways; switched from Debian) and this is the works usability problem I've ever encountered. I really, really hope you'll consider fixing it and submitting the patch upstream.
