Subject: [PATCH] iw: connect: Add support for WPA3 SAE association
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 15:48:47 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251008044847.16966-1-wonseok.kim@morsemicro.com> (raw)
If the driver advertises NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_SAE_OFFLOAD, pass the
SAE password and let it handle SAE.
Added extra auth and key option to connect since SAE requires a separate
AUTHTYPE and a password instead of pre-shared keys.
