Lately, after several years' hiatus, there has again been some mwlwifi development, as @jbsky did improvements into mwlwifi, which are now in the mwlwifi repo.
There is discussion starting from message 950 here, but I think that wrt3200acm and wrt32x with the 8964 chip still miss wpa3 while other mwlwifi users have it.
https://github.com/jbsky/mwlwifi/blob/testing/next-8864/ipk/kmod-mwlwifi_5.15.127%2B2023-09-18-5bbb5be-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3-d16.ipk
Finally, for rc3, with this new package, you need to add the option shown below for all chips (8897/8864/8997/8964) if you want to test wpa3,
You need to replace the line in /etc/modules.d/50-mwlwifi
mwlwifi options: feature=0x30
Please let me know if it works for you.
