From bed80a08ff5e357ea722db10e2b552acf1ff7482 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kavita Kavita Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:25:53 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: Advertise IEEE 802.1X authentication support Advertise support for IEEE 802.1X authentication protocol directly from mac80211, without depending on driver indication of (Re)Association frame encryption capability. As specified in "IEEE P802.11bi/D4.0, clauses 12.16.5 and 12.16.8.2", IEEE 802.1X authentication can operate with or without (Re)Association frame encryption support. Therefore, mac80211 can safely advertise 802.1X support independently of driver capabilities.
