Make sure you're using the latest NM that just got pushed out yesterday
(?) first.  Second, what's the wpa_supplicant config file that allows
you to get connected?  There isn't an option for the peaplabel=
parameter yet, because it's unclear how many people need that at the
moment.  You may wish to try toggling the peapver= parameter too.
Basically, if you can get a working wpa_supplicant config file, then we
have a great change of figuring out whether it's an NM isuse (not
setting the right config bits in wpa_supplicant), or whether the drivers
just suck too much (also a possibility given the immaturity of mac80211
if that's what you're using).
