Hi,
My school uses PEAP-MSCHAPV2 8021X authentication for both it's
wireless and wired networks. I can successfully connect to the network
wirelessly using iwd, so all is good there.
I was wondering if it is possible to also use iwd to connect to
ethernet (and possible handle dhcp too?). I have heard that ead might
be able to help with that, but am not too sure about how to get that
working. I found the ead executable, but I'm not sure how exactly it
needs to be configured.
Any pointers on where I might be able to get started with this are
greatly appreciated.

Should be as simple as putting your .8021x file into ead's storage directory as
'default.8021x'. ead storage directory is usually /var/lib/ead, so
'/var/lib/ead/default.8021x'. The settings file syntax is identical to iwd.
Note that ead doesn't support dhcp just yet, so you will need to run an external
dhcp client on the ethernet device.
Once we finish some refactoring of ell's netconfig code we plan to teach ead to
manage dhcp/dhcpv6 as well.
Hope this helps.
