Package: network-manager Version: 0.8-1 Severity: wishlist In talking with someone who uses wpa-supplicant directly to connect to a WPA-EAP-protected network, they asked why NetworkManager needs to ask for the EAP authentication type (TTLS, PEAP, etc), and why it needs to ask for the inner authentication type. Apparently, wpa-supplicant can autodetect all of those from an EAP configuration packet. It certainly would make connecting to WPA networks easier if NetworkManager could autodetect this as well (or let wpa-supplicant do so).
