"Indicating same support" should have been "Indicating sae support". SAE offload support means that firmware is doing everything, ie. SAE handshake and 4-way handshake (if not mistaken). SAE external auth offloads the SAE handshake to user-space. >> RPi4 (BCM4345/6 - 7.45.234 (4ca95bb CY) FWID 01-996384e2) >> Supported extended features: >> * [ CQM_RSSI_LIST ]: multiple CQM_RSSI_THOLD records >> * [ 4WAY_HANDSHAKE_STA_PSK ]: 4-way handshake with PSK >> in station mode >> * [ 4WAY_HANDSHAKE_STA_1X ]: 4-way handshake with >> 802.1X in station mode >> * [ DFS_OFFLOAD ]: DFS offload >> * [ SAE_OFFLOAD ]: SAE offload support >> * [ 4WAY_HANDSHAKE_AP_PSK ]: AP mode PSK offload support >> * [ SAE_OFFLOAD_AP ]: AP mode SAE authentication >> offload support I think you mentioned earlier this one ends with an error. So SAE is not working with that firmware despite the claim. How about WPA2? These patches should not affect that, but better check if it does not cause a regression. >> Jetson TX1 (BCM4354/1 - fw 7.35.349.104 (775a9ab CY) FWID 01-d55901b0): >> Supported extended features: >> * [ CQM_RSSI_LIST ]: multiple CQM_RSSI_THOLD records >> * [ DFS_OFFLOAD ]: DFS offload >> >> So I have different brcmfmac HW reporting different features. >> >>> You can check the firmware features in debugfs under >>> <mount>/ieee80211/phyX/fwcap. >> >> I don't get fwcap on either of the above devices: >> >> ls /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ >> fragmentation_threshold ht40allow_map long_retry_limit >> rts_threshold short_retry_limit > > Ah, yes. My bad. They are only created if CONFIG_BRCMDBG is selected. Appreciate the help. Regards, Arend
