Alright, I tried it without the group and pairwise options, and it works 
using wpa_supplicant, so I re-installed my pre-Thiago patch NM, and 
tried to connect to the AP using the existing LEAP support, which 
failed.  So, I have still yet to successfully connect to this AP using 
NM.  Below is the (most recent) working wpa_supplicant config, and the 
syslog of NM trying to connect to the same AP (without the extra LEAP 
options).
