WPA3 client usage

Does this not work under FreeBSD 15.0 either?
wpa_supplicant-devel-2025.03.25
I did the following: cd /usr/ports/security/wpa_supplicant-devel
I adjusted the Makefile as follows:
Code: 
@${ECHO_CMD} CONFIG_SAE=y >> ${CFG}
@${ECHO_CMD} CONFIG_WPA3=y >> ${CFG}

Then I ran make install clean and everything worked perfectly.

This is how I call it up
doas /usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d

My wpa config:
Code: 
network={
    ssid="my SSID"
    key_mgmt=SAE
    sae_password="password"
    ieee80211w=2
    group=CCMP
    pairwise=CCMP
    proto=RSN
}

Error messages:

wlan0: WPA: AP key_mgmt 0x400 network profile key_mgmt 0x400; available key_mgmt 0x0
wlan0: WPA: Failed to select authenticated key management type
wlan0: WPA: Failed to set WPA key management and encryption suites


Since all logical configuration options (WPA-EAP, WPA2-PSK, WPA3-SAE, and mixed mode) resulted in a failure to negotiate key management, the diagnosis strongly suggests a problem outside the configuration file.

I'm relatively new to BSD, which is why I'm stuck. Is this due to the kernel and network stack?
 
What you have written is not entirely correct. This is what bz@freebsd.org says:
iwlwifi would (with LinuxKPI bits filled in), but net80211 does not yet;
ask on the wireless mailing list for WPA3 support (independent of the driver)

It is a pity that you have reacted so disparagingly.

Thanks bJoeRn A. Zeeb

Tragic.

That seems like a stretch. I see no disparagement. We are simply trying to help.
There is a thin line saying net80211 is not a driver. It might be called the parent of all wireless drivers in my opinion.
