Comment 8 for bug 41134

There were a few duplicate new bugs, which I've marked. That should be sufficient to confirm that there's a problem. I don't know if some of those may have been bugs against feisty - I'll check for myself if the bug exists in feisty tomorrow if I can.

You'd have to have a WPA-Enterprise (802.1x) network to test against there. I don't know how difficult that would be to set up since presumably it involves having a radius server as well as a properly configured wireless router. So test case? Setup an 802.1x-authenticated wireless network and connect to it w/ network-manager. Then verify that the password is stored in gconf by going to the appropriate location in gconf-editor. That's the best I can do for you in that way. Other subscribers to this bug may be willing to test. Our network was presumably setup by corporate IT.

The relevant gconf keys are under /system/networking/wireless/networks/[SSID] and are called wpa_eap_identity (the user name) and wpa_eap_passwd (the password). The network-manager-gnome UI seems to know that it's a password as it uses password dots instead of characters and hides/un-hides when you select the "show passwords" box.
