Hi,

FWIW, the next release of CAT will have per-profile overrides of the SSID.

So then you can set up a profile with the extra SSID, while leaving the
normal profile as it is.

This will /not/ remove the "eduroam" SSID though; that one is always
added to all profiles.

So, when you download the extra-SSID profile, after installation you
would need to delete the SSID configuration for "eduroam" manually if
you want to prevent the client from jumping onto the proper SSID.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
