Description: 
SUSE Linux does not support 802.1X authentication on Wired Networks. That means 
that users which need this feature have to install and configure it manually. 
What's even worse, users in authenticated environment cannot install SUSE from 
network.

This feature consists of 3 tasks:

1) add suport to sysconfig/netcontrol (e.g. by calling wpa_supplicant -D wired 
-i eth0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_wired.conf in network scripts)
2) add support to NetworkManager (and its frontends - NetworkManager-gnome and 
NetworkManager-kde)
3) add configuration dialogs to YaST (during the installation and outside the 
installation - on running system)

PS: Fedora Rawhide (equivalent of openSUSE Factory) already has working 
implementation in NetworkManager-gnome. I do not know about other tasks.
