[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#543454: network-manager: patch for GTC support (WPA2 Enterprise/PEAP)

[Drew Parsons]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

There are a lot of reports around the interweb saying that WPA2
Enterprise support is broken in Network-Manager.  This is the case for
me.  Digging deeper and contacting our wireless admin, our network
uses GTC, which is absent in network-manager 0.7.

A patch has been made to upstream git, see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565065

The git commits should be 
272c6a626a27f4d3a88a1aedd7887d63f6a818d5 (nm master)
272cf183c7963dfaf019b2f5afc816c0bd2dfd73 (applet master)

272c6a626a27f4d3a88a1aedd7887d63f6a818d5 (nm 0.7)
0461fff8039ce612fb5a50ce760b782f62457d59 (applet 0.7)

Could I kindly request that these patches be applied (cherry-picked,
say)?  It would seem GTC is quite common in large institutions (e.g.
universities), so those of us using unstable or testing in these
places are currently locked out of our wireless networks.

Thanks,
Drew
