  Title: Support 802.1X Authentication on Wired Networks
   
  openSUSE-11.1: New

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.

  We already run wpa_suplicant during installation. Could you please
  explain the difference to your proposal and what exactly needs to be
  changed?

+ I'm talking about 802.1x authentication on wired networks (Ethernet).
+ I'm not able to enter my credentials during install phase and even
+ worse I cannot enter them in installed system either and I have to
+ create wpa_supplicant with credentials by hand.
