The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[Lukas Wringer <Lukas.Wringer AT rz.uni-augsburg.de>]

Hi,

as I got no reply to either of my mails I try it a third time (with more 
Questions):

- can the MIME-Type fix be backported for Andorid 10? As there are 
devices around that do not work with the traditional CAT App..

- The new drawbacks leave me a bit puzzled - wasn't it the reason for 
using geteduroam in the first place to support Android 11?

- As I have recieved an Update now to Android 11 I was able to test it:

   - is there a way to find the configured Network anywhere in the
     System? Or can you put a Indicator into the App that is is
     ready/already configured?

   - How can I edit the connection (ege. password)?

If this is not the right place to ask about this, where ist it?

Greetings, Lukas
