One sane solution would be to let the user choose whether to use the
system CA certs or not. KDE's network manager applet already does this.

I have a patch ready that adds this functionality. For package network-
manager-applet. Tested working on ArchLinux, but there are no changes in
Ubuntu's 9.8.0 and Arch's 9.8.4 among the parts of code that this patch
touches.

My university is in the process of testing out 802.1x for wired
networks, but this bug is a major bottleneck right now as many people
here use Ubuntu 13.04.

Title:
  Network manager cannot connect to WPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 network without
  CA_Certificate

Status in NetworkManager:
  New
Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  === Release Notes Text ===

  When connecting to MPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 wifi networks which do not have
  a CA Certificate network manager may incorrectly mark the CA
  certificate as needing verification and fail that verification.  See
  the bug for workarounds.

  ===

  I can connect to Eduroam in 12.10 and any other previous release, but
  not in 13.04. I checked, my name and password are correct, all
  settings are the same as in 12.10.

  Network properties:

  security: WPA - WPA2 enterprise
  authentication: protected EAP (PEAP)
  CA certificate: none
  PEAP version: automatic
  inner autentication: MSCHAPv2
  username: (required)
  password: (required)
