Thanks for the suggestion. It does not appear to change the behavior I'm
seeing. Also I'm pretty convinced that the AP is not at fault here. It
is sending the confirm, and the STA fails to ACK that and the confirm
never shows up in iwd.

Confirmed that the settings is applied using these logs from iwd:

[SAE]: Using SAE H2E
[SAE]: Using group 19

I assume group 19 is the default group?
