Comment 10 for bug 334052

I don't know if it helps, but I'm having connection problems with EAP network as well. Both plain wpa_supplicant and network-manager-gnome (nm_applet) work fine. This is de wpa_supplicant.conf part that makes wpa_supplicant tick:

network={
        ssid="ru-wlan" #(Visible)
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=TTLS
        phase2="auth=PAP"
        identity="***"
        password="***"
}

I also see the wait_for_connection_expired() in daemon.log
