Connecting to WPA-ENTEPRISE network 1) removes info about CA cert; 2) kills nm-applet

[Devgru]

Binary package hint: network-manager

I've got:
- intrepid;
- university; :)
- wi-fi:
    WPA-Enterprise encryption
    MSCHAPv2
    802.11x key management
    static IP and DNS, no DHCP
    CA cert

What happened:

1) I've added network (with all settings, including cert;
2) Trying to connect to hidden network.Selecting config.
First bug: no cert is entered (but I've selected one earlier)
3) It asks me about cert: "you'ven't specified it, so select it now or ignore".
4) I click on button to select, but no dialog appears.
5) nm-applet aborts self.

In console:
nm-applet

ERROR:eap-method-peap.c:227:nag_user: assertion failed: (dialog)
Aborted

I believe I have the same problem. At first I didn't choose a cert, assuming things would be done automatically for me. I got a scary warning about a cert, so I hit cancel instead of ignore and then clicked the cert button. No cert was available, giving me a very confusing "choose" option that just pointed to my home folder. I gave up and hit cancel, then went to go back and try ignore -- at this point network-manger crashed.

Marking high priority since it breaks the network entirely.

nm-applet bug; according to upstream fixed on 31st Oct. in svn

[robe (r-evert)]

Bus still persists, starting nm-applet as root works.

Don't know if it might help, I had problems with network-manager as well, and each time network-manager crashed, I had to type "killall gnome-panel" in a terminal in order for the applet to restart. Then I added to my sessions file ("System" > "Preferences" > "Start Applications") the command "nm-applet --sm-disable" and the problems went away.

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Intrepid Ibex 8.10 reached EOL on 30 March 2010.

Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
Thank you.

I've just realized I made a mistake, Intrepid Ibex 8.10 "will reach" EOL on 30 "APRIL" 2010.

Sorry for this.

Anyway, I think that one month doesn't make any difference now.
