David:

Would it at all be possible to do what Raspberry Pi OS does, and allow 
the user to upload a properly formatted wpa_supplicant file to the FAT 
partition, and have it moved to 
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant_custom-wlan0.conf on boot, if it 
exists? This would be great for a headless setup using a Pi Zero 2 W in 
the event one can't connect a display or Ethernet... a situation I 
currently find myself in.

I can mount the image on another Linux machine and put the file there 
myself, but this would be especially nice for boards like the Zero 2 W 
and 3 A Plus.
