Trouble connecting to wireless network with WPA

Could anyone help me fix my netcfg profile so I can connect to my university's wireless network?

I need to translate the following wireless settings into a CONFIGSECTION for a netcfg profile:

Authentication / Encryption:
WPA (minimum requirement) / TKIP
WPA2 / AES
EAP Type: Protected EAP (PEAP)
Authentication Method: Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)

So far I have the following:

CONFIGSECTION='
    ssid="<ssid>"
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
    eap=PEAP
    identity="<myusername>"
    password=hash:<my password as an NT hash>
    phase2="auth=EAP-MSCHAPv2"
    '

Using that configuration I get errors:

# NETCFG_DEBUG="yes" WPA_OPTS="-d -f/tmp/wpa.log" netcfg <theprofile>
...
 > WPA Authentication/Association Failed
DEBUG: profile_up connect failed

Using tail -f on the wpa_supplicant log file shows that authentication fails right after lines like these:

RX ctrl_iface - hexdump_ascii(len=6):
     53 54 41 54 55 53                    STATUS
...
RX ctrl_iface - hexdump_ascii(len=6):
     53 54 41 54 55 53                    STATUS
RX ctrl_iface - hexdump_ascii(len=9):
     54 45 52 4d 49 4e 41 54 45           TERMINATE

Thanks for any assistance.
