I have absolutely no idea...  But i guess i could ask them...

but i do know that the university network has PEAP access as well...
but I was told that one is less stable than TTLS...
I do have instructions for NetworkManager in Ubuntu for the PEAP thingy... :
http://helpdesk.ugent.be/ugentnet/UGentWPA_ubuntu.pdf

i've "translated" those instructions as well... to no avail...

network={
        ssid="UGentWPA"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=PEAP
        identity="GEBRUIKER"
        password="PASWOORD"
        ca_cert="/etc/certs/ct_root.pem"
        priority=1
        }

i get pretty much the same error actually....
