In the Edit network profile dialog, under Ethernet, edit the following fields:

	Define a timeout period in seconds.
	Later on, under [Advanced], specify the behavior for failing DHCP requests.

Allow LAN connection without, 802.1X if 802.1X fails	Specify whether a connection may be set up if a timeout or authentication error for 802.1X occurs (for Ethernet connections only). If the option is cleared, users can only connect after successful 802.1X authentication.
