Jouni,
Please refer to the sniffer capture at
https://drive.google.com/file/d/13EcsEJKjKrkID20SPaq0YYA3_iatGD6Y/view?usp=sharing
Pixel6 mac: 0c:c4:13:14:16:93
The issue usually happens after multiple roaming connections between
our mesh system.
Here is the wpa_supplicant.conf I dumped from Pixel6, assuming that's
the config taken and run in the wifi system

If the 802.11 spec mandates H2E when both peers advertised the
support, the issue here sounds more on the Pixel6 then.

Regards,
Sean
