connection issue with eduroam when using NetworkManager with IWD

Hi, as I've written in the subject I didn't have success when trying to connect to eduroam by using the IWD backend.
The message which is shown in logs is

Oct 02 16:04:11 archtop NetworkManager[12047]: <info>  [1727877851.0211] device (wlan0): Activation: successful, device activated.
Oct 02 16:04:16 archtop NetworkManager[12047]: <info>  [1727877856.3537] manager: NetworkManager state is now CONNECTED_GLOBAL
Oct 02 16:08:27 archtop NetworkManager[12047]: <info>  [1727878107.2046] audit: op="connection-add-activate" pid=4621 uid=1000 result="fail" reason="802.1x connections must have IWD provisioning files"

I also tried adding the *.8021x file manually which seems to work, but this file is deleted after NetworkManager is restarted. Thus making this process very hacky...

Also according to https://archive.kernel.org/oldwiki/iwd.wiki.kernel.org/, it seems that 8021x is supported by the IWD backend (albeit with some caveats, which I guess do not apply in my case), but I couldn't get it working at all..
