Hi Jouni,
In my experience, I typically see
wpa_supplicant[1618]: wlP9s9: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT bssid=<address>
status_code=53
when I enter an incorrect password for my WPA3 network, which
corresponds to "Invalid shared key (pairwise master key identifier or
PMKID)" based on this list [0]. With that said, it seems like we
should send the mismatch alert only in cases of data->auth.status_code
== 53.
Do you agree? If so, are there any additional status codes we should
consider beyond 53 from [0]?
If you'd like to keep in line with WPA3 terminology, what name would
you recommend for the WPA3-SAE authentication failure signal?
"SaeFailure" or "PweMismatch" come to mind for me as possible options.
