Description Richard Baxter 2014-04-22 05:37:53 UTC 
NetworkManager sets system-ca-certs=true when no certificate is selected or required (Edit Connections - wirelessConnectionName - edit - Wi-Fi Security - CA certificate - none). If the wireless server (e.g. WPA+WPA2 Enterprise / PEAP / MSCHAPv2) does not require a CA certificate then this will result in the user not being able to connect. In this situation the user must manually edit /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/UniWireless and remove the system-ca-certs=true reference...
Comment 1 Thomas Haller 2014-04-22 20:13:41 UTC 
The problem is entirely in nm-applet, which always sets system-ca-certs to true. The workaround you mention is correct.
