pass_work=myworkpassword

# wireless-related configuration
networking.wireless.secretsFile = "/run/secrets/wireless.conf";
networking.wireless.networks = {
  home.pskRaw = "ext:psk_home";
  other.pskRaw = "ext:psk_other";
  work.auth = ''
    eap=PEAP
    identity="my-user@example.com"
    password=ext:pass_work
  '';
};
