KDE NetworkManagment and eduroam - Fails to connect

I can't connect with KDE NetworkManagment to my university wi-fi. It's an eduroam network with hidden SSID. I type the SSID in the Hidden Network, the wi-fi is detected, I insert the username and password and the state changes to 'Configuring the adapter', but then asks me for the secrets again, I confirm it and the states changes to 'Configuring the adapter', always doing this.

This is the everything.log:

This is my wi-fi card:

I'm using the iwl driver.

Re: KDE NetworkManagment and eduroam - Fails to connect

This pdf is in portuguese. It's a guide that my University provides for Ubuntu 10.10. It has pictures so I guess you can find your way through. If not, just post here. I'll subscribe to this topic.

There's is something you may want to try tough, if you're having trouble... If you set the connection to be available to everyone or system wide, it will show up in the following directory. Just edit the file and fill out the missing parts, like username and password:

nano /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/eduroam

If you NetworkManager is daemonized, it should automagically connect on boot.
