Hello Yan Chao,

Can you please provide a description of the problem that this patch
solves? - I=E2=80=99m wondering if it is the same =E2=80=98invalid-key=E2=80=
=99 error that
users of the distro I help maintain (LibreELEC) have been reporting
for a couple of years. In our distro it shows when using connman and
iwd, but not with connman and wpa_supplicant. We have never managed
to pinpoint/find the root cause.
