Since we've > established that it's a semi-standard problem for IT users? At the moment there will not be support for wpasupplicant in the built-in Internet Connection daemon, sorry for that. In the longer run this could be made possible, as I shall add that to our wish list. Unfortunately we're not able to support a wpasupplicant hacking effort at the moment, but you could start by tracking down what D-Bus messaging there is between ICd and EAP software. EAP is pretty independent of ICd, so there should be only very messages exchanged. It should not be too hard to implement/emulate those and start wpasupplicant in response. Settings are stored in gconf, and by logging debug syslog messages from icd might give some more details (IIRC). Actually, the wireless extensions might turn up difficult to do, and I'm not at all sure what - or how complicated - messages there might be between wlancond and EAP. The UI interaction messages are "easy" as they are specified in osso-ic-ui-dbus.h from the osso-ic-oss package. They can also be validated manually from the command line using dbus-send.
