[SOLVED]Eduroam Connection problem
Hello, I installed Arch on my Macbook Air (2017?) a while ago. My problem is I cant connect to my universities eduroam. I know there are already a lot of threads with this exact Problem, but i haven't found a Solution that solved my Problem. What i have gathered is that is likely a problem with the driver for my WIFI chip set?
Here are the things that i have tried:
installed broadcom-wl-dkms
added a file "broadcom-wl-dkms.conf" in /etc/modprobe.d (blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmfmac
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist ssb)
Using eduroam CAT (definetly not working, configuration are old ones and not the latest.
Disable DHCPCD
Switch from iwd to wpa_supplicant
Here is my WIFI-Card:

Re: [SOLVED]Eduroam Connection problem
80211ac means 5G only.
"invalid cipher group" means auth failure.
See scan dump for eduroam. Then put correct parameters to config file.

Re: [SOLVED]Eduroam Connection problem
I have a similar MacBook Air from that production year. The issue is the T2 security chip which locks down a lot of hardware if your OS installation isn't macOS. I had the same issues at my university with eduroam because of this too.
The easiest option is to get a cheap Wi-Fi dongle and use that with your laptop, or take a look at the following:

t2linux provides ISOs of most major distributions with T2 MacBook support. Just follow the guide and you should be jolly, but I recommend just getting a dongle if you don't mind getting one.

Ok thank you! Now I can be certain about what to do, this problem was driving me crazy. I think I will just get a WIFI dongle.
