After all, not even wpa_supplicant supports all the existing WPA authentication protocols, and I guess that in at least 95% of the cases you are faced with WPA-PSK, WPA-EAP, or WPA-TLS. At the moment we have WPA-PSK. I will try to implement also a basic config for WPA-EAP-PEAP (used, e.g., in telco hotspots, eduroam, etc.) and possibly WPA-EAP-TLS (used in some corporate networks), which seem to be the most common options out there. Given the (very limited) scope of setnet, we should try to cover 95% of the use cases and probably leave the rest to the user, who can always edit the config file for wpa_supplicant, even from withing setnet.
