Issues with WPA Enterprise + NetworkManager

[Thomas Rix <ThomasRix gmx de>]

Hi.

I'm having trouble to connect to the wireless network at my university.

It uses WPA Enterprise with PEAP authentication, TKIP encryption and a 
CA-certificate.

This is what I enter in KNetworkManager:
Security: WPA Enterprise
EAP method: PEAP
Identity: my username
Password: my password
CA-certificate: /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem (I copied it there, downloaded 
from the university's homepage, I also got 3 other certs with the 
suffixes .crt, .cer and .der)
Phase 2 method: MSCHAPv2

When I try to connect to the network the symbol in the systray starts 
working and ends up with a gray globe saying not connected. The logfile 
output of my latest connection attempt is attached in the 
NetworkManager.log file.

My system is a DELL Inspiron 1720 with openSUSE 11.1 x86_64. Wireless 
adapter is an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. Configuration is set via DHCP.

Connecting to my WLAN at home with WPA2-PSK works fine, so the driver 
isn't the problem.
