I am seeing the greyed out connect button on 12.04. In my case I
believe my key is encrypted (it says "BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY").
So, this is likely a different problem.

Title:
Grayed out "Connect" button when using WPA2 Entreprise+TLS
authentication
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 8.10 Release Candidate (live CD) -
ubuntu-8.10-rc-desktop-i386.iso
My hardware: Thinkpad T60p with an Atheros wireless Mini-PCI express card
(AR5BXB6 chipset == AR5006EX).
What happened: I launched Ubuntu from the live CD and tried connecting to the
wireless network of my university, by selecting the corresponding SSID through
the Network Manager. My university uses a TLS EAP ("WPA 2 Entreprise") and .pem
certificates. I filled out all the forms, and selected the correct certificates
that were stored on my hard-drive (I have checked them with the "openssl verify
CAfile ca-x.pem cl-x.pem" command).
The "Connect" button remained grayed out, clicking on it didn't work.
What I expected: That the connect button was not grayed out after I
completed the fields. Or at least that there is a tip that indicates
why the button is grayed out, and why it won't even try to connect.
Reproducing with the terminal (output):
---------------------------------------------------
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ killall nm-applet; nm-applet
** (nm-applet:8440): WARNING **: No connections defined
** (nm-applet:8440): WARNING **: Invalid connection: 'NMSetting8021x'

---------------------------------------------------
The Invalid connection and <WARN> "WARNING" messages appear when I click on
my university's SSID in the network manager.
The "CRITICAL" messages appear when I type in the four letters of my Private
key password.
The normal user and sudo user outputs look similar.
@Alexander Sack:

--> These two warnings appear right after I click on my university's wireless
SSID (from the drop down list of the nm-applet icon on the top bar). When I
click on my university's wireless SSID there's a window that appears :
"Authentication required by wireless network". That's where I enter my details:
and I leave no whitespaces, no blank fields. My identity is my e-mail address,
and my private key password is made of numbers only (if that helps).
I suppose you mean that the connect attempt is made when I click on my
university's wireless SSID, as I can't ever click on the connect button when
the Authentication is TLS.
#update (29.10.2008): added terminal output, corrected university's wireless
encryption (WPA Entreprise -> WPA2 Entreprise), added tags
#update2 (29.10.2008): changed sudo output --> regular user output
#update3 (29.10.2008): added response to Alexander Sack's comment
