Well ... first we need to get basic TLS support in ubuntu - which is
fixed upstream, but backport as I said is tricky.
AFAIK, smartcard stuff isnt supported that easily in NM. Not really
sure how that is supposed to work. IIRC, wpasupplicant alone should
support tht though. Could you test and shed some light on the
wpasupplicant (when used manually and not through network-manager)
status for smartcard?
