The pcf as it is won't import into nm, but if you tweak it a bit (add a few config options) it will.  The problem is that when I go to connect to it, it asks for the user and group passwords, but I do not have the group password as the school will only supply it encrypted.  I've asked if I could get the unencrypted group pass but all they said was "use the pcf file supplied."  Anyone got any ideas?
