WPA3 support coming to OpenBSD

OpenBSD is moving closer to adding WPA3 support.

Stefan Sperling (stsp@) posted a message with the subject add WPA3 support to the tech mailling list with a patch that implements WPA3 in OpenBSD's net80211 subsystem including ifconfig(8), asking for testing and feedback.

He also noted that this effort is supported by the NLNet Foundaton (as noted in an earlier article).

The message reads,

The patch below adds support for WPA3 to the net80211 subsystem.

This effort is supported by the NLnet Foundation's NGI0 Commons Fund.
Without such support, I would not have been able to invest the time
required to work on this. I am very grateful to be given this opportunity.
