<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I use an external connection manager to talk to the
supplicant and when I add a PSK network I might not know if the AP supports 11R
and PMF. What would the negative implications be if I add “FT-PSK
WPA-PSK-SHA256” to the key_mgmt in supplicant.conf whenever I add a PSK
network?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>To be clear, whenever I add a network, which is supposed to
look like:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>network={<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> ssid="test"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> psk="1234567890"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> key_mgmt=WPA-PSK<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> priority=4000002<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>}<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Would it hurt to implicitly make it look like the following?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>network={<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> ssid="
test "<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> psk="1234567890"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
FT-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> ieee80211w=1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> priority=4000002<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>}<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So far, I have not seen any problems and I guess the “wpa_supplicant_set_suites”
function is the rescuer thanks to:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>sel =
ie.key_mgmt & ssid->key_mgmt;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
