Using der doesn't seem to affect the problem.  Here's another symptom (I
think):

      * Establish the connection and select the certificate. 
      * Right-click and select Edit Connections 
      * Select the Wireless tab, the connection, and the Wireless
        Security tab. 
      * Note that the CA Certificate field says "(None)". 
      * Select the certificate. 
      * Click Apply. 
      * Close the connection editor. 
      * Open the connection editor and the current connection security
        tab. 
      * Note that the CA Certificate field says "(None)".

The rest of the connection info is:

      * WPA2 Enterprise 
      * PEAP 
      * No anonymous identity 
      * PEAP version 0 (or automatic) 
      * Inner authentication MSCHAPv2 
      * Username and password fields filled in
