is there any way to tell if idsup is supported (firmware string or
some other mechanism). The just disabling and not implementing support
for external_auth is really having this stuck in WPA2 legacy world.

The whole out-dated firmware game on Raspberry Pi is already a mess.

My problem is really that WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 are essentially mandating
WPA3/SAE only support as soon as you move into 6 GHz operation and the
errors presented to the user are not decodable if you don’t have a
good understanding on what WiFi certification mandates.
