 Thanks Harry - I have been looking at various other people's config
 files by googling for PEAP and one or two have suggested that the
 proto=WPA line is necessary even though the help files for
 wpa_supplicant would suggest that it is not necessary. So I will try
 this next week.  Also when I ran the successful test with NM I checked
 through the log files and NM did put a request for a proto WPA into
 wpa_supplicant so this may be the one factor that will make the
 difference.
