I found this line in the b43 logs:

Could we also see the supplicant log for the RaLink driver that works?

Sure thing, here you go! This one's much shorter, since the connection
was successful.

A quick difference - this one supports 3 additional ciphers:

vedder wpa_supplicant[376]: nl80211: Supported cipher 00-0f-ac:13
vedder wpa_supplicant[376]: nl80211: Supported cipher 00-0f-ac:11
vedder wpa_supplicant[376]: nl80211: Supported cipher 00-0f-ac:12

The one with :13 is for BIP-CMAC-256, :11 is BIP-GMAC-128, and :12 is BIP-GMAC-256. I did not find a reference that says that these are needed for WPA3, but I am suspicious.

Thus far, I have not found where the driver tells nl80211 what should be supported.

Perhaps, we were calling ieee80211_hw_set() in the wrong place. Try

In addition, check that the printk message is seen in dmesg.
