Cannot Edit WPA & WPA2 Enterprise connections in nm-applet

I did an -Syu this morning and networkmanager, nm-applet, and nm-config-manager got updated.

Since then, I havn't been able to edit the WPA2 Enterprise networks. The save AND the connect buttons (because I tried to just create a new network profile) are greyed out.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: Cannot Edit WPA & WPA2 Enterprise connections in nm-applet

I don't use WPA2 Enterprise but I did check it out. Before the upgrade I could get LEAP, PWD, FAST, Tunneled TLS, and Protected EAP (PEAP) to light up the Save button. TLS won't light, likely because I have no private key to offer.

After the upgrade LEAP won't light up the Save button even though I'm putting in the exact same sample config as before, and the same sample that lights up the Save button for PWD and the other Authentication methods.

Downgrading will get you working until the package can be fixed.

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/nm-connection-editor-1.0.6-1-*.pkg.tar.xz

This upgrade breaks WPA2-Enterprise-LEAP.

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/nm-connection-editor-1.0.8-1-*.pkg.tar.xz

I noticed that 1.0.6 features a hard to see key icon on the Save button which has been changed to a much easier to see green check box mark on 1.0.8. Maybe other stuff was broken in the UI change.
