Looking over this again though, do we really need to add this option?
By default, the LEAP stuff doesn't specify auth_alg, which means
wpa_supplicant should be using "OPEN LEAP" as the auth_alg by default.
The next question I have is whether or not Jason's setup works when he
leaves out the 'group' and 'pairwise' options.  If so, then we probably
don't need the patch here to specify them (sorry Thiago, very great work
so far, I just want to make sure we really need more UI options before
we add them).

Some APs seem to require exactly the configuration that they support,
and also that if you are using a hidden SSID, you have to specify only
the configuration options which the AP supports.

Jason?  Can you test removing the 'group' and 'pairwise' options from
your wpa_supplicant config and see if that works as well?

Thanks!
Dan
