SubjectRe: Issue with iwd + Linux 5.8.3 + WPA Enterprise
From
Date

Dear Caleb,


Thank you for the report. Linux has a no regression policy, so the
correct forum to report this to is the Linux kernel folks. I am adding
the crypto and stable folks to the receiver list.

It’d be great, if you verified, if the problem occurs with Linus’ master
branch too.


Kind regards,
