So weird here, i put on stable. FT not working. Put on snapshot, FT work.

No idea why lol, no errors on my 4a xiaomi. Staying on snapshots for now (and yes both snapshots and stable kernel are 5.15.xxx)

Hi, is there a workaround for this error message?
nl80211: kernel reports: key addition failed
I have a router and a dumb ap (both are linksys 1900acs).
Thank you.

No need to work around it, i moved to stable.
Fast roaming is still working even tho it throws this error.

Guess you can remove this error in the source code but to much effort

I still get this issue... kernel 6.6.x

@fodiator do you have news?

Thanks

Just to inform, the patch from @fodiator in my MT6000 have issue, wifi speed is limited.

This error log still seems prevalent even on the latest stable build.
