GTC [1] is an inner authentication method for PEAP wireless security. Support
for it was recently added to NetworkManager and KNetworkManager does not yet
have the UI to select GTC.
From: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208219
To do this Junior Job, look in libs/ui/security/peapwidget.h and see how
existing auth methods are defined (eg eapmethodsimple for username/password
methods, eapmethodleap for a more complex method) and registered
(peapwidget.cpp). Then define a suitable eap method for GTC (extend
eapmethodsimple if it is only username+password) and register it to the peap
widget.
You probably also want to have a recent NetworkManager (Kubuntu Karmic or
Fedora 12 will have GTC support in NM or ask me about updated NM packages for
openSUSE) and have access to a PEAP-GTC network to test this.
Ask me if you need help with this task or assign it to yourself at
bugs.kde.org at the above URL.
