Well, I have tried WPA Enterprise in knm, WPA Personal does not allow
to set stuff as is required in wpa_supplicator copnfig ;-) There is
even "Phase Two" option with MSCHAPV2 possibility. But I did not found
where to set something like "key_mgmt=IEEE8021X".

Finally, there is output of nm-tool. I have found tar.gz for NetworkManager
6.4-5 for FedoraCore, and I have copied nm-tool binary from this rpm.
Strange think is that gentoo build of NM (version 0.6.5 which I have
instaled) does not contain nm-tool ... However, even when nm-tool is
from different version, it did not write any errors, so there is the
output:

Is it what you have wanted??? I read through man page and I did not find
any further options for nm-tool ...

As I wrote, there is Phase2 configuration in knm. I use subversion build
from the beginning of the june, but I have forgot the number :-(

Did I send what you have wanted? Regards,
