Description of the problem: Currently, wpa_supplicant can't support WPA3 with Wi-Fi modules that use the brcmfmac driver. This is because the driver only supports offload mode, which wpa_supplicant currently does not support. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to connect to a Wi-Fi network that requires WPA3 auth Actual Results: Fail to connect Expected Results: Authenticate and connect properly Additional info: There is a patch set that resolves the problem: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/hostap/2023-July/041653.html It would be ideal if this patch set was backported to Fedora 38 as well for the Fedora Asahi Remix to benefit from it.
Note that this is a blocker for shipping Fedora Asahi Remix (we'd like to do that by the end of the month). We need to offer WPA3 support; the other option is to switch from wpa_supplicant to iwd (which does support this), but iwd comes with its own set of bugs and issues.

Can we wait until they are reviewed and applied? thanks, -- davide

Are any of the maintainers of wpa_supplicant able to review the patches upstream to help get them applied?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
