For certificate-based setups, due to security hardening for wpa_supplicant in NixOS 26.05 and later, users of wpa_supplicant face restrictions on where eduroam certificates can be stored<ref>https://discourse.nixos.org/t/breaking-changes-announcement-for-unstable/17574/116</ref>. Certificates should be placed in either <code>/etc/ssl/certs</code> or <code>/etc/wpa_supplicant</code> and should be owned by (or accessible to) the wpa_supplicant user.

Some eduroam configuration scripts may hardcode paths in its relevant <code>/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<connection>.nmconnection</code>. In this case, editing the <code>ca-cert</code>, <code>client-cert</code>, and <code>private-key</code> to point at their new location should suffice.
