From 0da032d64e1f513242138eb10f1fae75c5b914f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Tue, 26 May 2020 10:59:09 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] b43_legacy: Fix connection problem with WPA3 Since the driver was first introduced into the kernel, it has only handled the ciphers associated with WEP, WPA, and WPA2. It fails with WPA3 even though mac80211 can handle those additional ciphers in software, b43legacy did not report that it could handle them. By setting MFP_CAPABLE using ieee80211_set_hw(), the problem is fixed. With this change, b43legacy will handle the ciphers it knows in hardware, and let mac80211 handle the others in software. It is not necessary to use the module parameter NOHWCRYPT to turn hardware encryption off. Although this change essentially eliminates that module parameter, I am choosing to keep it for cases where the hardware is broken, and software encryption is required for all ciphers.
