As a network guy I do not deal with problems on the desktop, it's one of 
those few things that I am permitted not to accept by default fault for.  
Also, bear in mind I did say "we do not use PEAP and never have done", 
asking me to help you with a PEAP problem is unlikely to get you very 
far.  :-/

My solution is to use TTLS (with SecureW2) as it makes XP, Vista and 
Win7 all behave identically, and that's what I like.  The author has 
done all the ball busting so I don't have to. :)

Debian provide a bunch of ISO's and network install options for their OS 
over at their website...no doubt that will fix the workstation :)
