[Solved] WPA TTLS EAP "Failed to get master session key"?

Question

Summary: "WPA-Enterprise" (WPA2 with EAP-TTLS and inner PAP) was no longer working. Problem has been traced to the shitty Broadcom wireless card in my laptop. The Linux driver that Broadcom attempted to provide for it is a miserable failure. Switching to ndiswrapper and the windows driver solves this problem.

Sorry, just realized that the link I posted to the wpa_supplicant.conf file was broken... should be fixed now.
I don't think I can just generate the config file, because its not a simple WPA network.. there are several other options that must be set.  But I do think that its something wrong with the wpa_supplicant.conf file.  Because here is how they suggest to write it:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="wpa.mcgill.ca"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
auth_alg=OPEN
eap=PEAP
identity=""
password=""
found here: http://knowledgebase.mcgill.ca/al/12/14/1925.html#wpa
and here are the options they specify when connecting using ubuntu's network manager:
According to the sample wpa_supplicant.conf, my config file should look more like this:
network={
ssid="example"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="[email protected]"
password="foobar"
ca_cert="/etc/cert/ca.pem"
phase1="peaplabel=1"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=10
