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

[Nicolás Velázquez Campoy <nicolas.velazquez AT uam.es>]

Hello Martin,

I'm sorry. I did not explain it well enough.

We are only interested (now) in how the eduroamcat and geteduroam apps work 
on desktop computers because we are extending 802.1X over wired networks.
The problem only arises when desktop computer doesn´t have wifi interface.
Smartphones with wired network are not known for me.

Eduroamcat server works well serving profiles in both cases, eduroamcat and 
geteduroam, but both apps don't install wired profile alone.

I understand the distribution of right profiles for portable devices is the 
main goal for eduroamcat "project". 
If you want to configure some tablets or smartphones in a right and secure 
way by hand, it could be a nightmare.
eduroamcat "makes" it very easy for all people. Good work.

Wired only devices are not a main goal.
Jørn Åne said that this is a secondary goal. Thanks for such info.
Ok for me. I know the status and the forecast for this issue now.

Kind regards,

What kind of devices are you talking about?
Your question makes only limited sense to me:
By
> eduroamcat is legacy
do you mean the Android App (which is legacy),
or  the website cat.eduroam.org?
The latter is up and alive and serves everyone well,
both web browsers and app clients.
If it's Android, please tell me what contemporary device
supports wired out of the box, I would be interested.
If it's Windows, there may indeed be a glitch in the Windows installer.

Cheers, Martin
