Yeah, I'd like. To outline my situation:
* at home I have wireless connection with WEP key authentication works
perfect with rawhide, nm even remembers that it should connect to the AP
I use rather than trying another (which was the case in F8)
* at dorm I have wired connection and the script I made for the
connection has to do these steps:
1. stop NetworkManager service
2. turn on eth0 interface (via ifconfig eth0 up)
3. after short wait start xsupplicant
- it uses eap-ttls certification and pap authentication
4. start dhclient
I don't know if I am able to use wpa_supplicant instead of xsupplicant
as the last time I tried it (FC6 days) I wasn't able to successfully
authenticate.
Thanks,
Martin
