Well looks like from this point it maybe NetworkManager and how it deals with the certs. Using wpa_supplicant I am able to connect using the WPA_SUPPLICANT_CONFIG block below. Once I get everything sorted out I will redo the certs. However, I dont get why this is not working with NetworkManager.
Look at the debug logs.
That will be for another forum I guess. I am curious though if my traffic is now encrypted ( even though the certs are just the snake-oil certs) when connecting using wpa_supplicant outside of network manager.
The WiFi encryption depends on EAP completing successfully. It doesn't depend on the contents of the certificates. The "snake oil" certificates are just normal certificates. The only unusual thing about them is that they're not created from a well-known certificate authority. Alan DeKok.
