How to connect to eduroam wifi?

[endaoggl]

Hello, I am a beginner in Lucid Puppy. Recently I have been trying different solutions on the web to connect to eduroam wifi. Usually when connecting to eduroam it requires a username and a password. Does anyone have any experience in connecting to eduroam? Thank you.

The alternate connection manager here supports eduroam. You will create a profile using PEAP, then manually edit it to insert your username and password.

# Script by stemsee, connects a linux system to dual phase security wifi

There are many different ways to authenticate to an Eduroam server, so there are many variations of the wpa_supplicant.conf. The script locks you into just one permutation. The more flexible solution is PWF. See above.
