Description Thomas Haller 2020-10-15 10:33:27 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1888051 +++

In NetworkManager 1.30+, it supports bridging of Wi-Fi interfaces ([1]). That requires API in wpa_supplicant to be able to set the bridge interface ([2]).

This feature was requested in bug 1888051 (for NetworkManager). Consider adding support for wpa_supplicant so that it can work.
Comment 1 Thomas Haller 2020-10-15 10:37:13 UTC 
sorry, this bug report is totally bogus :)


first of all, I wanted to report it against wpa_supplicant.
Second, such a report already exists: bug 1888050.
