Description

Hello, I am making this issue to request support for WPA2 enterprise network that use EAP.

I had late 2019 posted some code on how to do so that I used in a custom build of micropython so that someone with more knowledge of how to properly add it could take a look.

https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7219

Looks like no one ever did which is why I am creating this issue to bring attention to this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the WPA2-Enterprise/EAP implementation shared in the linked MicroPython forum post and comparing it with the ESP32 networking support in this repository. Done means adding usable WPA2-Enterprise support for EAP networks, but the issue does not identify files, tests, or a specific EAP scope.
