After entering the configuration for the first time, you have to manually press '''Connect''' to connect. The next time you choose '''Location: eduroam''' from the "apple menu" you are automatically connected to the correct WLAN using 802.1X.
The first time you connect you will get a request to verify a certificate. Check it's authenticity and press Accept. If you already have installed the Certificate Authority (CA) public certificate correctly in your Keychain, this question will not appear.
The screen dump shows a working connection.
