Comment(by WACOMalt):

 Why is this marked as an request for an "enhancement"?  the IRC system is
 '''fundamentally broken''' if it does not support the primary
 authentication method used by many IRC servers (including freenode.. the
 largest, and the default server chosen when adding a new IRC account)

 SASL authentication support needs to be added.

 To add some detail, apparantly while using my tethering plan on Verizon,
 my IP range is in a group freenode REQUIRES SASL authentication on. and so
 I am completely unable to use freenode.
