wicd can't connect to network w/ PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPV2

I am trying to connect to the wireless network at my university which uses PEAP with MSCHAPV2 encryption. For some reason networkmanager is able to connect just fine, but wicd gets stuck at "Validating Authentication..." I would much prefer to use wicd over networkmanager, so im hoping to be able to get to the bottom of this.

Any ideas? Here is some potentially useful info:

Wireless card from lspci:

03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34)

Relevant excerpt from wicd.log:

Let me know if any other information would be useful. Thanks!

I'm having a similar problem connecting to my university's network, but can't even get NetworkManager to connect properly.
