Hello,

node-wifi on windows use netsh cli. Unfortunately netsh doesn't have dedicated argument to manage wifi profile. So node-wifi has to write the profile config file itself.

For now node-wifi manages only WPA2 secured networks but it is a good idea to add WPA2 enterprise. node-wifi need to generate the config file for WPA2. I found several samples to use: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/nativewifi/wireless-profile-samples. Which one should we use for your use case?
