Unable to enable H2E in wpa_supplicant

[Michael Yartys]

Hi, all

I'm testing the hash-to-element implementation on my OpenWrt router, and I need to set sae_pwe=2 in my wpa_supplicant config to be able to connect to it. The problem is that I'm getting the following error:

Line 9: unknown global field 'sae_pwe=2'.
Line 9: Invalid configuration line 'sae_pwe=2'.

My config is as follows (I saw the previous emails on the list about the parameter being a global parameter, and I have made sure it's outside the network block):

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
sae_pwe=2

network={
	ssid="OpenWrt_test"
	key_mgmt=SAE
	sae_password="redacted"
	ieee80211w=2
}

I'm running wpa_supplicant on Fedora 33 and the version is listed as 1:2.9-8.fc33.
