Arend,
Thanks for the hand holding, I am out of my depth here!
I tried this config and get a similar result.
ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
sae_check_mfp=1
network={
ssid="deskSAE"
sae_password="secret123"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=SAE
pairwise=CCMP
ieee80211w=2
}
# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Line 3: unknown global field 'sae_check_mfp=1'.
Line 3: Invalid configuration line 'sae_check_mfp=1'.
Failed to read or parse configuration
'/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf'.
: CTRL-EVENT-DSCP-POLICY clear_all
seems it doesn't recognize this parameter.
