Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to connect eps8266 to Eduroam?

No. Eduroam is using 802.1x authentication, which is not implemented in the ESP8266 SDK.

I found something about this chip. ESP8266EX chip has a Wi-Fi certificate and inside this certificate
its support WPA2™ – Enterprise, Personal
http://www.wi-fi.org/content/search-page?keys=esp8266

This situation may have changed recently, with the release of SDK v1.5:
http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1442

Which is on the milestone of the next version of ESP8266 core for Arduino:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/milestones/2.1.0

Poking around in the SDK, I see:

$ grep 802 esp_iot_sdk_v1/esp_iot_sdk_v1.5.0/include/*.h
esp_iot_sdk_v1/esp_iot_sdk_v1.5.0/include/user_interface.h: REASON_802_1X_AUTH_FAILED = 23, /* 11i */

$ ar -t esp_iot_sdk_v1/esp_iot_sdk_v1.5.0/lib/libwpa2.a
