In order to configure the connection back to Automatic, edit the eduroam profile, go to the Connection tab and check Connect when this network is in range: Figure 14: Setting Automatic connection [1] = If the Wireless Network Connection icon is not present, this may be due to the wireless network manager of your vendor's card taking over from Windows' built-in one (Wireless Zero Configuration).

Please refer to the documentation of your vendor's card in order to turn it off as this may interfere with the procedure here documented.

Click on the Authentication tab and now uncheck the Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network box.This seemed to work for me after I disconnected from my router and reconnected again.However, you may have to go into "view wireless networks", and then choose "change order of preferred networks" in left corner of screen.I had been able to connect previously, but the connection would always indicate that it was validating.However, it didnt work, until I disconnected, turned the power off my Wi Fi, unchecked the tab in the authenticate dialog box, clicked ok, then switched the Wi Fi power back on, and reconnected.
