[solved] No 801.11s mesh encryption with ath9k?

Hi, I am trying to set up an 801.11s mesh between 2 boxes with ath9k radio (Atheros AR9227 and AR9287 to be precise). I replaced wpad-basic with wpad-mesh-wolfssl and I can setup an unencrypted mesh without problems. But whenever I enable WPA3-SAE, it doesn't work anymore and I get these errors in the log file:

Is encryption not supported with this chipset or what might be the problem?

Sorry, my bad. Apparently I was missing a reboot after installing wpad-mesh-wolfssl... :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
