You can install these DEBs on Ubuntu 14.04 too (since Linux Mint 17 is based on Ubuntu 14.04), then remove the connection and add it again; system-ca-certs will not appear then if you click ignore when you're asked to choose a certificate.
With Mint 17 I am able to connect to Eduroam out-of-the-box, I just have to choose PEAP as authentication method and enter my details.
Linux Mint has implemented the upstream fix for system-ca-certs in their repository packages which can be found at http:// packages. linuxmint. com/pool/ upstream/ n/network- manager- applet/
