WPA2 Enterprise authentication is counterintuitive
I noticed that many people I know who use GNOME had to ask me how to connect to networks using WPA2 enterprise authentication, which happen to be quite popular in universities and workplaces. Windows and Android seem to offer much more intuitive authentication for this kind of network, requiring only username and password unless "advanced options" are given. Default guesses (are they guesses?) for authentication type also seem to be wrong most times, whereas on Windows and Android for some reason it's not even asked but "just works.
More practically, some issues I immediately notice are:
- why have a "No CA needed" checkbox if we can just avoid uploading one? The "CA password" could also be hidden (I think?) when no certificate is chosen
- anonymous identity and domain are grouped with username and password on Android, not sure if that makes more or less sense
- the default authentication type ("tunneled TLS") and inner authentication seem to be different from most networks I've set up so far, which might be a coincidence or just a too unlikely "guess"
Of course it would be even better to review this authentication GUI as a whole, and make it arguably the first intuitive Wi-Fi authentication UI, but that seems much less realistic.
