RE: [mac80211]: wds link and Radius authentication issue

Yes I'm running mac80211 on both side.

I progress in understanding to this issue. After checked, the issue is different with different mac80211 version. With the backport 5.4-rc8-1, the driver level seem worked correctly. The hostapd (in AP side) didn't include the sta in the bridge when the security policy is WPA-PSK or WPA-EAP. With none policy the sta is correctly included.

Now I'm searching in hostpad.

I think really what Cedric is asking is how this is/should be done with mac80211's 4-addr client/AP mode(s)?

Cedric, are you running mac80211 on both sides of the link, the AP and the (4-addr) client?
