| - | Certain drivers support offloading the 4-way handshake as well as SAE/WPA3 into the firmware. For drivers which do not support user space driven Authenticate/Associate frame this is the only way to enable features such as SAE/WPA3 or Fast Transition roaming. Handshake offloading (both WPA2 and WPA3) is enabled in IWD by default for drivers which advertise support. The driver support, however, can be disabled on brcmfmac which will be discussed further. Handshake offloading has only been tested on the brcmfmac driver, and this wiki page assumes this driver is being used. | + | Certain drivers support offloading the 4-way handshake as well as SAE/WPA3 into the firmware.
