wpa_supplicant is 2.7-devel i.e. git master

tcpdump shows nothing either unicast or broadcasts

So I both new kernel and newest wpa_supplicant. I've also added
ieee80211w=2, but no change.

Do I still need authsae daemon? If I use authsar-nl80211 I get
segmantation fault after

 sae_debug(MESHD_DEBUG, "new peer candidate (seq num=%d)\n",
            nlmsg_hdr(msg)->nlmsg_seq);
