Here is the solution: Please follow the steps EXACTLY as below:
1. Select New Connection
2. Enter Connection Name
3. Scan for available wi-fi network - select "No" if it is hidden network
4. Enter the exact SSID (if it is hidden then select Hidden checkbox)
5. Network mode: Infrastructure
6. Security method: WPA with EAP (this is what I selected for connecting to my office network)
7. EAP Type: PEAP
8. Select Certificate: None
9. EAP Method: EAP MSCHAPv2
these are most important steps:::
10. User name: ONLY ENTER User Name - no domain is required here
11. Password: enter valid password
12. Click Next and then click "Advanced"
13. Click "EAP" tab
14. Select "Use manual user name" checkbox
15. Enter "Manual user name" as username@domain --- very important.
16. Save
17. Finish

You are all SET. Setps 10 to 15 are very important.
This is working like charm for me and I hope it works for you all...

Funny, for me it always did without the domain.

my school specially stated about the user@domain part, I just didn't know where to put it, perhaps it's important only for eduroam and uni .

I get "can't authenticate"? I know the username and pw are correct? It does however recognize the network now. Before it wouldn't see it.

And sometimes with the same settings I get "something's wrong with the network connection"

For me it works with DOMAIN\user in both steps 10 and 15 (manual user name still required even though identical to the regular user name).

I got it to work by configuring username differently in Advanced page, so if your username is user it would be:

username: user
password: your_pass

advanced-wpa eap
Manual username ON
username: user@school.domain (ie. user@uni.com)
