No, no real support on any contemporary device I know of.
(Last supported one ASUS transformer of 2012?). But I saw mentioned wired 
network in
some recent review, I think it was about Android 14.

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5kYH32RSgg
both suggest some Android versions will at least issue a DHCP request.
an configure a simple environment. The same goes for iPadOS.
But I have vever seen 802.1X working with wired, neither on Android nor 
iPadOS.
Technically, it should be entirely feasible.

Is it still in the Specs for ONC?
About 14 years ago, I once managed to connect a ChromeBook to wired eduroam.
Since then, I have never seen a ChromeBook honouring wired settings in the 
ONC profile again.
Lukas is completely right: For a long time, Google ignored the dire need of a 
proper certificate check
almost completely. A whole generation of ChromeBooks simply ignored all cert 
settings in ONC.
I reorted this twice on the ChromeOS feedback page, nobody cares.
So guess geteduroam on ChromeOS is a good idea.

Good luck with Google
Martin
