Can't connect to university wireless network

Hi!
I am new to Linux and have just installed Arch to get to know it.
Through the Arch wiki and help from my good friend and mentor Jonhoo. I have now got the system pretty much set up and ready to go.
However, when trying to connect to my university's wireless network using a netcfg file, I receive an error message.
The netcfg file I've made from Jonhoo's template.

BondStudents (netcfg)

CONNECTION='wireless'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa-configsection'
ESSID='BondStudents'
IP='dhcp'
CONFIGSECTION='
    ssid="BondStudents"
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
    eap=PEAP
    group=CCMP
    pairwise=CCMP
    identity="<user>"
    password="<password>"
    priority=1
    ca_path="/etc/ss1/certs"
    phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
'

tail 50 from everything.log after trying to connect

I'm quite stuck with this problem and can't seem to find a solution to it.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Re: Can't connect to university wireless network

For my University that uses an Aruba to manage their wireless I connect with wicd using the same script. It's basically the same as netcfg layout.

 network={ 
	ssid="$_ESSID"
	proto=RSN
	key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
	pairwise=CCMP
	eap=PEAP
	identity="$_IDENTITY"
	password="$_PASSWORD"
	phaze2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
