Phone refuses to connect to wifi hotspots with WPA3/WPA2 mixed mode enabled #45

I just tried running postmarketOS 24.12 on the same Pinephone, and I got the exact same limitation with that OS. It could only connect to a WPA2-only access point. Neither WPA3-only nor WPA3/WPA2 mixed mode worked. This was with the Still, isn't the whole point of WPA3/WPA2 mixed mode to allow support for older devices? |

I tried both my access point and a wifi hotspot on another Android phone. The Pinephone with GloDroid couldn't connect and said that the password was probably wrong (which it wasn't), and it connected successfully once I switched the Security setting from
WPA2/WPA3-PersonaltoWPA2-Personalin the Wi-Fi hotspot settings of the other Android phone that I used as a hotspot. I also triedWPA3-Personal(without WPA2), and unsurprisingly, this didn't work either.This is build 2024w44 (Android 15), installed on an SD card on a Pinephone, specifically UBports Community Edition with 2GB RAM.
I understand that lack of WPA3 support is a hardware limitation in the Pinephone's SoC. But at least in this answer in an OpenWrt forum thread, it seems to be implied that at least WPA3/WPA2 mixed mode compatibility is something that could be fixed in the firmware.
Can this indeed be fixed in GloDroid? Or is it an implementation in AOSP, which needs to be fixed upstream?
Thank you for your continued hard work on this project, and have a happy and healthy new year.
