    Export a new 'owe' capability to indicate that wpa_supplicant was

    in the array of BSS' available key managements.

to allow configuring WiFi "Enhanced Open" using NetworkManager.

Comment 4 Ken Benoit 2020-12-15 17:19:01 UTC
Tested against RHEL-8.4.0-20201212.n.0. Configured a Fedora 33 system with an owe AP through nmcli. Then configured the connection on the RHEL-8.4.0 system to connect to the AP. Connected without issue and was able to ping and run extended iperf3 testing between the two systems. Reversed the setup and performed the same testing without issue. Marking as verified.
