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

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

Hi,

   can we be specific about what we are talking about? Please lets 
limit ourselves to the Windows case - this is why I have changed the subject

One thread is the geteduroam Windows application, which if I understand 
correctly does not yet support wired eduroam

The second is the standard CAT Windows installer. By default this 
installer does not tough wired interfaced, but as the IdP admin you can 
set support for wired in the media properties of the profile. The 
installer will then require admin right to run. It will install eduroam 
n wireless interfaces and will ask the user if he/she wants wired 
support as well. If no wireless interface is present the installer will 
report it and ask if the user wants the wired interface instead. So, 
unless the installed profile does not work as expected, I do nor see any 
missing stuff or bugs here.

I have checked that the installer for University of Trieste does have 
the wired support on. Are you saying that it does not work? I have not 
tested this for quite a while, so something may have gone wrong.

Cheers

Tomasz
