+
+    Connect to the specified wireless network, using WPA-Enterprise authentication and
+    the specified parameters. The EAP methods provided are EAP-PWD, EAP-PEAP,
+    EAP-TTLS, and EAP-TLS. EAP-TLS is UNTESTED and thus EXPERIMENTAL.
+
+    Common parameters:
+
+        * ssid -- WiFi access point name, (string, e.g. "eduroam")
+
+    EAP-PWD parameters
+
+        * username -- your network username (string)
+        * password -- your network password (string)
+
+    EAP-PEAP parameters:
+
+        * username -- your network username (string)
+        * password -- your network password (string)
+        * identity -- anonymous identity (string)
+        * ca_cert -- the CA certificate (filename, string)
+
+    EAP-TTLS parameters:
+
+        * username -- your network username (string)
+        * password -- your network password (string)
+        * identity -- anonymous identity (string)
+        * ca_cert -- the CA certificate (filename, string)
+        * ttls_phase2_method -- TTLS Phase 2 method (integer)
+
+    EAP-TTLS supports the following TTLS Phase 2 methods: 
+
+        * 0 -- PWD
+        * 1 -- MSCHAPv2 (default)
+        * 2 -- MSCHAP
+        * 3 -- PAP
+        * 4 -- CHAP
+
+    Please note that MSCHAPv2 and CHAP have known security issues and should be avoided.
+
+    EAP-TLS parameters:
+
+        * client_cert -- client certificate filename (string)
+        * private_key -- private key filename (string)
+        * private_key_password -- private key password (string, optional)
+        * disable_time_check -- suppress the validity check for the local client certificate when using EAP-TLS (boolean, default False)
+
+    disable_time_check is only included for the sake of completeness. In practice,
+    you want to renew the client certificate before expiry.
+
+    Certificate files need to be uploaded first, e.g.::
+
+     mpremote cp <file> :
+
+    EAP-PWD should be used whenever possible. It connects swiftly and uses the least resources.
+    When using one of the other methods, make sure the system time is correct to prevent
+    certificate validation errors. Best practice is to use a battery buffered RTC and to set
+    the system time using NTP regularly. A temporary workaround if no battery buffered RTC is
+    available is to set the system time to the image build time, like:
+
+     import sys
+     import machine
+     (year, month, day) = sys.version.split(" on ")[1].split("-")
+     rtc = machine.RTC()
+     date_time = (int(year), int(month), int(day), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
+     rtc.init(date_time)
