Could you reveal some more details around this? Thanks! You'll need this patch once wpa_supplicant specifies more than two akm suites in the key_mgmt (in AP mode). With the current mainline driver using NetworkManager to setup a hotspot with: nmcli device wifi hotspot con-name leica ssid mywifi band bg password hallo123 NetworkManager ends up setting the key_mgmt option to 'WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256'. These are two entries and this works fine. However, when the patches adding host mlme support are applied (see https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Zk6TklTIbxZxIWyb@xxxxxxxxxx/T/), NetworkManager will set key_mgmt to 'WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 SAE'. These are three entries and thus exceed the current array size of two. The effect is that SAE is ignored by the driver and SAE is not enabled in the device.
