We received this report from one of our Linux users today:

I just want to report a minor bug in the eduroam configuration script
for Linux. My password contained an apostrophe ('), and when the script
generates a wpa_supplicant configuration it includes a backslash (\');
however, the apostrophe doesn't have to be escaped in the
wpa_supplicant.conf file ( I could not connect to the network with the
escaped apostrophe)
