[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#968402:

Dear all,

I opened another ticket on OpenWRT forum.

In short, some clients like my laptop do not support WPA3 and/or WPA2
with PMF (frame protection mode). This depends on wireless chipset and
firmware.

In Network-Manager, when connecting to a WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode SSID, we
should be able to select WPA2-PSK or WPA3-SAE authentication and enable
or disable frame protection. If logon fails, there is a risk to get
banned.

IMHO, this bug should be escalated to Network-Manager team or OpenWRT
team, as this is not a Debian issue. Feel free to close the issue. A
lot of wireless cards using WPA3 or WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode should be
impacted, so you may also leave the ticket open till the dust comes
down.

Kind regards
