[connman] How to connect to 802.1x network

Hello my friends,

there is a 802.1x network at my university and I can´t connect to it.

connmanctl> scan wifi
Scan completed for wifi

connmanctl> services
   uni_wlan                  wifi_xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_managed_ieee8021x

connmanctl> agent on
Agent registered

connmanctl> connect wifi_xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_managed_ieee8021x
Error /net/connman/service/wifi_xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_managed_ieee8021x: Invalid arguments

What could I do?

After adding the eduroam profile (as described in WPA2 Enterprise on the wiki) and restarting connman+wpa_supplicant, it should connect automatically - I haven't figured out manual connect either.

Hm... My best guess is that you spelled wifi_x_x_managed_ieee8021x wrong. Thats the the same error I got when I spelled it wrong. AFAIK, it must be typed in correct case too. Other than that, there may be something in the wiki here: Connman, connecting to a protected access point

It could also potentially be connman timing out, as per this github article. Although the article is for the raspberry pi, it should still be applicable to connman in general.

Have a look and let us know if you still cannot connect.
