Bug Description

Network Manager via wpa_supplicant has support for TTLS/EAP-GTC & MD5 authentification. But KDE4 GUI dialog for wifi connection not. There is only PAP, CHAP and MSCHAP(v2). So with KDE4 plasma widget is not possible to connect to WiFI WPA2 Enterprise TTLS/EAP-GTC network. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to connect to WPA2 Enterprise TTLS/EAP-GTC network via KDE4 GUI Actual Results: Not possible, in menubox for TTLS/EAP is missing GTC and MD5 auth Expected Results: Option in configuration and connection

[Impact]

 * With networkmanagement is not possible to connect to WiFI WPA2 Enterprise TTLS/EAP-GTC network.

 * Impacts users' ability to connect to networks and gain internet access.

[Test Case]

 * If available, try to connect to WPA2 Enterprise TTLS/EAP-GTC network via networkmanagement (this can actually be verified with and WPA2 connection since we are fixing the U/I and not the underlying Network-Manager ability to connect to TTLS/EAP-GTC conntections).

 * Notice that in the menubox for TTLS/EAP, GTC and MD5 auth options are missing

 * Install the updated packages

 * Repeat and note that the options are now present

 * Attempt to make a connection and see that Network-Manager tries to connect. If on a TTLS/EAP-GTC network, the connection should succeed.

[Regression Potential]

 * Regression potential is nil. It's a backport of the 6 line upstream fix for the issue and is just adding additional U/I options. There's no impact to internal processing.

I tried it and working. Open systemsettings --> network --> wireless --> add wireless --> security and choose: wpa2 enterprise + ttls. Then you can choose pap, mschap, mschapv2, chap, md5, gtc. Above patch added md5 & gtc options. It is needed for some wpa2 eap networks with ttls+gtc authentification.
