So it seems wpas_is_sae_avoided() must return true. That will check whether the AP and network profile are setup to MFP. This seems to be the fact as your hostapd.conf and wpa_supplicant.conf both have ieee80211w=2 defined. This function can only return true when is enabled in configuration file: # sae_check_mfp: Require PMF support to select SAE key_mgmt # 0 = Do not check PMF for SAE (default) # 1 = Limit SAE when PMF is not enabled # # When enabled SAE will not be selected if PMF will not be used # for the connection. # Scenarios where this check will limit SAE: # 1) ieee80211w=0 is set for the network # 2) The AP does not have PMF enabled. # 3) ieee80211w is unset, pmf=1 is enabled globally, and # the device does not support the BIP cipher. # Consider the configuration of global parameterss sae_check_mfp=1, pmf=1 and a # network configured with ieee80211w unset and key_mgmt=SAE WPA-PSK. # In the example WPA-PSK will be used if the device does not support # the BIP cipher or the AP has PMF disabled. # Limiting SAE with this check can avoid failing to associate to an AP # that is configured with sae_requires_mfp=1 if the device does # not support PMF due to lack of the BIP cipher.

I have read through your response a few times and am still a bit confused. Does this have to do with a pure wpa3 versus a wpa2/3 AP?
Correct. If I am not mistaken MFP aka PMF aka 802.11w is mandatory for WPA3.
I have tried editing my hostapd.conf and my wpa_supplicant.conf and still cannot get a connection, so I must be doing something wrong. I commented the ieee80211w line on both and it would not connect. I tried changing the wpa_key_mgmt on both ends to be 'SAE WPA_PSK' and it still would not connect. What *should* the configurations be in the hostapd.conf and wpa_supplicant.conf to negotiate this as a pure wpa3 setup? What should it be to be a wpa2/3 setup? My phone worked fine to connect with the original hostapd setup, but I have no idea what it is doing
As I mentioned in my previous email both config files listed above look okay to me (might be wrong though). The problem seems to be with wpas_is_sae_avoided(). For it to return true the config should have:
sae_check_mfp=1But you don't have that and default is 0 so it should check for MFP. This is where my trail ends. To learn more I would add additional debug prints. Are you comfortable rebuilding wpa_supplicant from source?
