Can you please be a bit more specific on what you mean with "breaking"
in this context? What exactly is broken? Just active scanning (i.e.,
sending the Probe Request frames)? Or scanning in general (i.e., not
getting any scan results at all)? Or something else?
See the thread "wpa_supplicant 2.10 - Scan failed" from 27.01.22. The
problem is sending the probe requests for active scanning.
For most cases, it is likely fine to omit extra IEs from Probe Request
frames, but this does break some cases like WPS PBC and P2P.
Didn't think of those - Would you suggest we assign a priority for those
IEs when crafting the extra-IE buffer? We could handle those IEs as
mandatory (and fail in this stage) while adding other IEs optionally.
Best
David
