Binary package hint: network-manager

Eduroam is a wireless network for students/staff of educational institutes, see http://www.eduroam.org/ I think support for this network will be great for the adoption of Ubuntu on these institutes.

When clicking on 'eduroam' in the network manager applet it keeps connecting indefinately, or sometimes spits out a dialog asking for a wep key. I killed and started NetworkManager from the command line to get some debug output. It seems it does correctly receive a key for the network, but then forgets it and asks for a key again. This repeats indefinately

I searched the forum for solutions but all referred to using wpa_supplicant from the command line, none gave a solution using the network manager.

I will attach two files: the output from the network manager and the wpa.conf with which I can connect to eduroam networks (password stripped of course).
