help with WPA2 Enterprise

[Joao Ferreira gmail <joao miguel c ferreira gmail com>]

Hello all,

I'm not being able to connect to my company WPA2 Enterprise using
Network-Manager.

At home I have a router with "WPA & WPA2 Personal" and I can associate
just fine.

But, at work, we have a wifi network with "WPA & WPA2 Enterprise" and
I'm unable to associate.

I'm using the following settings in the NM GUI configuration:
- Wireless Security   : WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
- Authentication      : Protected EAP (PEAP)
- Anonymous identity  : tried blank and my username
- CA certificate      : tried (None) and the company's certificate
- PEP Version         : tried Automatic and Version 0
- Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2
- Username            : my username
- Password            : my password

NM is unable to connect. I've double-checked these settings with the
networks departement people. All seems to be correct.

System is Debian/squeeze, NM 0.8.1-2+b1, wpasupplicant 0.6.10-2

See extract of /var/log/syslog bellow.

I'dd very much appreciate any help.

Thank you.
Joao
