New IWL4935 driver for Intel Wireless Cards does not support WPA2wireless network with PEAP - MSCHAPV2

Using Ubuntu Hardy Beta, Linux kernel 2.6.24, AMD64.
I have to connect to a campus (University of Verona, Italy; more information maybe available at https://wifi.univr.it sadly in Italian only, and I am not sure it is reachable from outside the university) WPA2 wireless network. It uses PEAP authentication, Dynamic WEP encryption, second phase: MSCHAPv2.
It also requires user login, password, and a CA certificate (available at the web page I linked above).
At the same page a wpasupplicant configuration file is also available, so to allow people to connect from linux also.
In Ubuntu Gutsy 32 bit (Linux kernel 2.6.22.14 if I am not mistaken) I was able to connect through NetworkManager and precisely using the GNOME nm-applet.
However, since I switched to Linux 2.6.24, I have no more been able to connect, whether through NM-applet or from the command line, using wpasupplicant. The wireless functions perfectly, and there has been no change in its configuration, since I am using it now (Windows Vista, configured months ago).
Reported also here on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/209602
Thank you for your attention.
