Can't start wpa_supplicant

[sherlok]

Hey guys, trying to connect to my University wireless and I'm having some issues.

I try to connect to the network, enter all the credentials and after a couple seconds is just pops the dialogue up again, and doesn't connect.

So, I've been working with this for a while and I think it's the fault of wpa_supplicant.

when I try to manually start wpa_supplicant (Service) I get this:

wpa_supplicant failed. The error was: Starting wpa_supplicant: /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, , [FAILED]

The network is my school network, my wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=users
update_config=1
network={
	ssid="RowanWPA"
	scan_ssid=1
	key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
	eap=PEAP
	pairwise=CCMP TKIP
	group=CCMP TKIP
	identity="reyesc86"
	password="*************************"
	phase1="peaplabel=0"
	phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}

running wpa_gui, under Status it says "Could not get status from wpa_supplicant". The terminal window continually prints out "Ping failed - trying to reconnect"

My wired internet works fine and I'm perfectly able to connect to non-protected wireless. I could also connect to secure wireless at my friends house (although I'm not exactly sure what the type of security was).

The network information for the university is:
Network Authentication: WPA
Encryption: TKIP
EAP: PEAP

I know little to nothing about networks, so bare with any obvious blunders I made

Thanks

are you using F8? have you updated to the latest version of packages from the repos?
did you manually create the wpa_supplicant.conf file?
