Wifi Woes - Phase 2 Authentication Resets Itself

Hey,

      I'm having difficulty connecting to my school's internet with the Droid Bionic.  According to my school's IT the wireless setup should be:

-------------------------------------
Security:           802.1x EAP

EAP method:   TTLS

Phase 2 auth:  PAP

CA Certificate: <is installed>

--------------------------------------

The problem I'm having is when I go to save a Wifi network the Phase 2 Authentication resets from PAP to 'None'.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Could someone try this really quickly and send me a response?

Yep, this is an ongoing issue and appears to be a Verizon thing.  The issue seems to be that it is not possible to update the Phase 2 Authentication field to anything other than 'none' for EAP... it simply is not being set or remembered. 

My original Droid actually worked with the Andriod 2.0 release, but 2.1 broke it and it hasn't worked since.  I believe the Android codebase DID fix this, however Verizon has not made it a priority to include the fix in their releases.  I now have a Droid 4 running 2.3.6 and it is still broken.  Many of my coworkers have this same issue, but ONLY THE ONES ON VERIZON!  Other carriers have apparently figured out how to port this fix into their releases, regardless of which Android phone. 

Come on Verizon, fix this so we can stop wasting your 4G bandwidth!!!
