Connecting to eduroam suddenly fails.

Hello,

Yesterday, I've been connecting to my schools eduroam network without any problems, today, after doing a full system update, I suddenly can't connect, with gnome throwing the fallowing msg 'activation of network connection failed'.

Here are some logs:

[ 1963.934748] wlan0: authenticate with 00:19:aa:77:27:81 (try 1)

Other info:

WiFi card: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
Kernel: Linux 3.2.5-1-ARCH
Gnome 3.2.1 with networkmanager 0.9.2.0-1

lsmod | grep iwl:
iwl4965               102182  0
iwl_legacy             45018  1 iwl4965
mac80211              203227  2 iwl_legacy,iwl4965
cfg80211              147716  3 mac80211,iwl_legacy,iwl496

Also, Eduroam uses Tunneled TLS + PAP authentication, with addtrust_external_root certificate.

Thanks for any help!

EDIT:
It's probably the networks fault. At least some things suggest it that way. I got misled by some opensuse reports regarding similar errors.
