We run 802.1x offering wired eduroam, but only on designated ports in a few areas such as our library. It does not get very much use. Most students seem to much prefer using the wireless eduroam, even if their laptop is sitting 12 inches away from the wired eduroam port. Although this may be partly due to a lack of awareness of the existence of the service because it is not campus-wide like the wireless.

...this is the WIRELESS admin list...but still. we run 802.1X on wired
and therefore can cater for eduroam on wired network - which we run
and deal with like the wireless eduroam network. ie if we know you
as a labs PC you go on labs network, if staff then staff network (if
we allow that socket or user to be connected to that particular port)
and students to student network (once again, if they are allowed to
use the network from that facility)
have broken the thread and retitled since this was a thread hijack
