08:05:36 #topic WPA3 Support any plans/news? (5-10 mins – asked by tfinn)
08:05:44 #info <tfinn> Support for WPA3 in Sailfisch OS are there any plans for it at
08:05:44 #info <tfinn> all? Would be useful to know, because the use of WPA3 is increasing.
08:05:44 <rainemak> #link Does SailfishOS not support WPA3?
08:06:03 <rainemak> #info <Jolla> The WPA3 support has not been worked on actively. However,
08:06:03 <rainemak> #info <Jolla> Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE), WPA3-Personal is
08:06:03 <rainemak> #info <Jolla> enabled in the wpa_supplicant. It is not yet supported in connman.
08:06:03 <rainemak> #info <Jolla> On top of that we need user interface integration.
08:06:03 <rainemak> #info <Jolla>
08:06:06 <rainemak> #info <Jolla> As you are rightfully noting that use of WPA3 is increasing, we
08:06:08 <rainemak> #info <Jolla> should consider finalizing WPA3 support. Good input for planning.

08:09:51 <direc85[m]> I have a WPA2+WPA3 mixed config on my home WLAN, and will have for a long time…
08:10:22 <tfinn> Yeah I also have it configured this way after finding out that WPA § is not supported
08:10:36 <tfinn> *3
08:12:39 <flypig> How much of this could be contributed to by the community? Is it fair to say that the connman support could be (all open source), but the UI changes maybe not (some non-QML closed source)?
08:13:09 <rainemak> flypig, that’s a correct assessment
08:14:05 <rainemak> I didn’t manage to get details regarding what’s missing from connman
08:14:21 <flypig> It would be interesting to know if it’s supported by upstream connman.
08:14:33 <flypig> The connman side could be looked at without the UI I think (can probably be tested using dbus), so there’s scope to do something as a community here. Given time and energy!
08:15:57 <rainemak> correct… I think it’s exactly like that. D-Bus version could already be used for testing but surely UI could show misleading infos… but testable
08:17:06 <rainemak> we should open more details in Does SailfishOS not support WPA3? on what’s actually missing and what kind of an approach could be taken
