Re: the Stack Exchange answer in comment 4

After changing my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to use 
hash:⋯
instead of clear text, I lost the ability to connect to eduroam. 

Reverted to clear text. 

I assume that the change to hash:⋯ (alone) is insufficient for a working
configuration. 

Discussions may be complicated and protracted, I'll continue elsewhere (keep
noise in Bugzilla to a minimum) and return here if there's a conclusion. 

I have: 

- two threads in the wifi-hacking channel in FreeBSD Discord 
  <https://discord.com/channels/727023752348434432/1324131132161134645>;

- threads in the email lists that were mentioned in comment 2, however 
  that was no more than two lists (netiquette) and neither list was 
  freebsd-wireless, so I might recommence in freebsd-wireless.

(In reply to Mark Peek from comment #6)

Thank you! Very useful, it should be added to FreeBSD Project documentation.
