Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager
802.1x protocol states, that packet is send periodically to notify clients about 802.1x port security being present. NM should detect that and provide dialog for user to enter credentials. Currently, credentials need to be manually entered for interface through NM applet configuration. Not really user friendly, without prior knowledge of presence of 802.1x. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783560 Title: Automatically detect 802.1x on wired network and ask for details -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
