The GNOME network manager applet seems to have no option to select TKIP in Intrepid

Asked by ais523

On Feisty, Gutsy, and Hardy, the GNOME network manager applet provided an option to select TKIP encryption, which is necessary to connect to the wireless network where I work (it's a university network, WPA Professional + TKIP). At the moment, I'm connecting to the Internet using the KDE network manager applet in my otherwise mostly-Gnome system, because there seems to be nowhere in Intrepid to input the option to use TKIP in the Gnome network manager applet itself, nor does the network seem to authenticate without it (the connection drops due to a lack of authentication information if I try, according to the syslog). Is the option somewhere, but hidden? Or is this a regression in the Gnome network manager applet?

I thought I had the same problem but the new Network Manager automatically takes care of TKIP. However, your PEAP version needs to right (which is tedious) and you need to know your inner confirmation. Also to get it to work I had to download a newer snapshot from this repo:

Ah, OK. Thanks for letting me know what the problem is; if it needs a newer snapshot, I'll stick with the KDE network manager for the time being and wait for the new one to be updated (even if I have to wait 6 months for the next version for that).
