That is why I put the edge word in double quotes. The problem is that Jolla's edge-case customers all have different edges they are thinking So we are back trying to figure out what are the most common features needed at the beginning, and unfortunately WPA EAP isn't that important than the other authentication methods.

As a side note:

I also cursed when N9 didn't originally supported WPA EAP and its variants. I couldn't use the Eduroam with it. Nowaday I don't anymore care so much about Eduroam because 3G is good enough for smartphones like Jolla for many of my use cases. And in home WLAN I don't use EAP.

With LTE coming I suspect the need for WLAN will decrease in many use cases in the future. At least in coutries that have good 3G and LTE coverage.
