Making PMF=1 the new default in wpa_supplicant

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, all.

Recognizing that Protected Management Frames (802.11w) can be disabled
(0), enabled (1), or required (2)... why is the default still
"disabled"?

I've just spent a chunk of time chasing a problem where wpa_supplicant
was uniquely unable to connect, and this proved to be the root cause. 
Other supplicants and products worked fine, which suggests that the
industry has decided that any historical compatibility issues are long
resolved, and "enabled" is a now safe setting.

FWIW, here's one vote to change the global default to pmf=1.

Cheers,
Richard
