I have an user reporting issues with cat.eduroam.org and Ubuntu Linux. 
It may be of some interest to the developers, did you see something like 
this already?

Ubuntu 22.04 (Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS; Release: 22.04).
uname -a : Linux XPS-15-9550 5.15.0-52-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 13

After failing to install the cat.eduroam.org script with python3, the 
user succeded connecting to eduroam with wpa_supplicant and the config 
file generated by cat_installer.

To connect, she stops NetworkManager and use wpa_supplicant:

sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo wpa_supplicant -B -iwlp2s0 
-c/home/chiara/.config/cat_installer/cat_installer.conf

sudo dhclient wlp2s0 (the network interface name)

Seems that the problem is with NetworkManager. Running the install 
script fro m cat.eduroa.org with python3 generates an error:

"Network Manager configuration failed. If you desire we can generate a 
configuration file for wpa_supplicant. Please note that your password 
will be saved in cleartext in the file. Continue?" (translated from Italian.

Ths writes the following wpa_supplicant file (which works):seguente (e 
che funziona):

network={
        ssid="eduroam"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=CCMP TKIP
        eap=PEAP
        ca_cert="/home/mysuername/.config/cat_installer/ca.pem"
        identity="******"
        altsubject_match="DNS:eduroam.unimi.it"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
    password="******"

}

There's an error on terminal: "Ths version of NetworkManager is not 
supported".
The installed version is  NetworkManger 1.36.6 which is the most recent 
upgradable with apt (1.36.6-0ubuntu2)".
