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?

Jan

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 08:03:55 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
cat /etc/debian_version restituisce: bookworm/sid

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)".

end
