Being asked twice is expected - with Apple's config file format, there
will always need to be a second prompt (credentials are per-network, and
there is no way to define a "common" credential).

If the fact that they are asked twice is in itself a major problem, we
can only turn off Hotspot 2.0 support by default.

If the problem is because they are asked for this "hexadecimal
gibberish" network instead of seeing the magic words "Hotspot 2.0", then
we can disable HS20 for iOS only (because that UI bug is unique to iOS),
leaving it enabled for MacOS. But then for MacOS, the same "credentials
twice" thing will continue to exist.

When we turn off HS20 by default, an IdP can enable it in the Media Tab.
TBH... if more reports about this feature being confusing come in, I'm
tempted to flip this back to off-by-default. I'm tempted to think that
this will mean we'll have next-to-zero Hotspot 2.0 coverage then, but well.

Stefan
