This seems to be even worse in 14.04 as removing or changing the system-ca-certs= line no longer works.

I can make the office WPA2 connection work as I have access to the root certificate for it's key, but my Uni's Eduroam is now completely unusable as removing the system-ca-certs line no longer works and the institution will not give me the root certificate for the self signed key.

("We only support Mac/Windows via the supplied installers" was the response I got).

I took apart the Mac installer hoping to get the certificate, but as far as I can figure, what they supply for the mac is a script that turns off certificate checking in OSX :-)

It's all very well saying connecting with out verifying the certificate is insecure and shouldn't be allowed, but that just isn't a realistic approach.
 I ether have to connect with out certificate checking, or I can't use the service at all.
