    how to setup netplan using PMF / ieee80211w=2 option for WPA3 enterprise?

    Hi,

    I could connect to my companys WPA3 enterprise network with a manually created wpa_supplicant.conf. But when using NetworkManager/netplan I am at a loss how to enable PMF (protected management frames). In my wpa_supplicant.conf I can simply set "ieee80211w=2" which is an requirement for "key_mgmt=WPA-EAP-SHA256".

    I figured out that in netplan I can set key_management: "eap-sha256" (which was key_mgmt=WPA-EAP-SHA256 in wpa_supplicant.conf) but I did not find anything regarding "ieee80211w=2" to enable PMF (protected
    # management frames).

    Can someone help me out please ?

    solution: one does not need any "ieee80211w or "PMF" setting in netplan. when using "eap-sha256" as key managemant netplan/Networkmanager obviously figures the need out on its own. i just setup certificates plus key (must have a password) and it works now:

    access-points:
    "wlan01":
    auth:
    key-management: "eap-sha256"
    method: "tls"
    identity: "markus.giese@sinc.de"
    ca-certificate: "/usr/local/rootca.pem"
    client-certificate: "/usr/local/usercert.pem"
    client-key: "/usr/local/usrcert/myprotectedkey.pem"
    client-key-password: "12345678"
    networkmanager:
    uuid: "any ID"
    name: "wlan01"
    no passthrough options are necessary
