Subject: [PATCH] netdev: don't include ATTR_IE for SAE
Date: Thu, 07 May 2020 12:34:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200507193446.8975-1-prestwoj@gmail.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1127 bytes --]

The spec outlines what fields/elements can be included with different
auth types. For SAE only a few fields are allowed. IE's are not allowed
but were being included with CMD_AUTHENTICATE.
