Correction: Kubuntu Gutsy rocks just that little bit harder.
In a recent mini-article I wrote about my impressions of Kubuntu Gutsy, I mentioned that it was disappointing that Kubuntu did not support Cisco LEAP wireless authentication as I’m stuck with using it for work. Is Cisco LEAP actually relevant to most of the world? Of course not. Sadly I can’t change our infrastructure though so without this support, no wifi for me.
One of the developers contacted me on IRC after reading the article and pointed out that Kubuntu Gutsy does indeed have Cisco LEAP support, and mentioned how to get to it. He also mentioned it would be interesting for someone to actually test it since almost no-one ever uses this dreadful backwards protocol.
It’s taken me a while to get my Kubuntu laptop into the office to check it out, but the LEAP support is indeed there, works great, and I’m sitting on it now to post this entry. Thanks Kubuntu!
The development team have my apologies for not looking into the matter further.
