Comment 4 for bug 479988

Nm-applet still crashing, but connection to 802.1x is possible. Here is my solution: when dialog appears to enter password, you can enter anything, doesn't matter, because nm-applet crashes right after you click connect. Then open console and run nm-applet &. The you can choose again 802.1x protected network to connect. Now it's working OK. So doesn't matter what password you enter to dialog, the important is to enter right password in Edit Connection dialog.
