[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#949300: wicd-gtk: does not permit passwordless private keys when using EAP-TLS

[Davide Manini]

Package: wicd-gtk
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

I am setting up a wi-fi network with WPA EAP-TLS authentication.
Unfortunately, when I am configuring Wicd using wicd-gtk, I cannot close the
configuration dialog as a window pops up telling me certain cipher information
are missing, preventing me to use a passwordless private key.  If on the
contrary I use a password-protected key, the configuration dialog works fine.

The same problem arises when using wicd-curses.

BTW There is a show/hide checkbox for the identity and private-key-path fields,
which is somehow useless.

Best regards,
Davide
