WPA status - WiFi Security and WiFi7

[sfx2000]

Unfortunately, vendor SDKs used by most products apparently don't synchronize with mainline changes. And when they do finally update their SDKs, WiFi7 may already be out of date.

Always interesting to see that sometimes OpenWRT gets backport checkins...

The vendor SDK's are ahead and behind where OpenWRT is on their respective release branches - just note that Mediatek and Qualcomm SDK's are forks of OpenWRT.

Anyways - posted another poll that is related around 2.4GHz and legacy support

Poll - what is the oldest level of 2.4Ghz Wifi currently in use

Checking to see where we are with legacy devices for 2.4GHz... Yes, this leans into the WPA support poll, along with IPv6 support

hint - 802.11b and WPA support for legacy devices will impact your overall WLAN...

Get past that with OFDM over 802.11g and WPA2 support as a minimum...

Even if Qualcomm and MediaTek offer backports for their SDKs, OEMs usually don't sync updates unless there's some serious issue that can't be fixed without updating the SDK.
