Comment 17 for bug 34982

Many of my co-workers and I would love to use Ubuntu at work as I have installed it on my standard-corporate-issue D630 laptop with great success but, like most large companies, we use EAP-FAST with our Cisco WLAN setup. This issue is preventing tens of people around me from switching to Ubuntu and I have to imagine this is a common plight. It's worth noting that this issue has been open for two years now. Do I read the above comment correctly, in that maintainers are waiting for the patch to be introduced into openssl? Why not apply it to the Ubuntu package? This seems like such a major roadblock to adoption.
