Actually let me change what I just said, I am not sure if Dan or
Robert ever intend to support dynamic WEP...  Years ago I had a setup
very similar to that (PEAP with dynamic WEP) and I /think/ this was my
wpa_supplicant.conf.  I had to do man wpa_supplicant and rely on my
memory to pull the relevant options:

network={
ssid="SSID"
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
auth_alg=OPEN
phase1="auth=MSCHAPV2"
identity="username"
password="password"
}

While I understand that changing wireless setups is difficult in a
large enterprise (I work in IT Sec for a Global Enterprise with over
25k employees) leaving WEP in place, even dynamic WEP is not a good
idea and it would be a good time to upgrade.
