Don't feel stupid.  I'm beginning to think that WPA--and, in
particular, the associated "documentation" (if you want to call it
that)--was all designed as a huge April Fools joke.  It's awful.

These types of networking issues are incredibly site-specific, so I
did a quick Google search for "baylor wpa_supplicant" and got a single
possibly useful hit at
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+question/6021.

I notice that the included wpa_supplicant.conf differs from yours a
bit.  Any help?
