Idea #1078: Network connectivity in China

Description

In China there is a common program used to restrict network access called "Ruijie Supplicant." The Linux client provided by this company does not work and they are not interested in fixing it.

Without this client software Ubuntu simply can not be used on many campuses in China. The solution offered by campus technical support is to provide a pirated copy of windows. There simply is no way to connect to the network without this client and the client does not exist for Ubuntu.

I think China should change their attitude towards technology, myself.

I have a bit of a problem with actively supporting censorship software.
