Holy crap man, I started to reply to #5 before I saw #6.

To hell with miles, thanks for finishing up that marathon.

I appreciate the effort!

The certificate I generated (on my company's site) does indeed appear under User in the certificate manager. I had no problems importing it either.

I did import two root certs and they appear under Authorities as they should.

But it's still not selectable in the connection configuration.

Your certificate worked fine, even showed up in the wireless config.

My user certificate doesn't have a password, didn't use one on import and the Password button is greyed out.

I did notice that your certificate chain included all three certificates that came in your .p12 file. My User certificate chain only contains my user certificate and my company's authority cert. Only 2 certificates in it... I don't know if that means anything...

I'll try generating a new certificate Monday when I get back to work and let you know how it goes.
