Subject: [PATCH 2/2] station: check if authentication is supported via CMD_FRAME
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2024 07:55:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241011145503.51330-2-prestwoj@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241011145503.51330-1-prestwoj@gmail.com>
If the driver does not support this don't allow FT-over-Air as
CMD_FRAME will fail. This will downgrade the roam to reassociation.
In the future IWD could instead use CMD_AUTHENTICATE, but thats a
larger change. This will at least get these drivers functioning
better.
